At least 20 civilians were killed and 90 others wounded in a car bombing in Zabul province early on Thursday, provincial governor spokesman Gul Islam Sayal said.

The car bomb was detonated at around 5:30 am in Qalat city, the capital of Zabul province in south of Afghanistan.

According to Mr. Sayal, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden car near a hospital and provincial directorate of the Afghan intelligence agency in Qalat.

The number of casualties may rise as rescue teams and people are still searching the bodies under the ruble, an official said.

The Taliban insurgent group claimed responsibility of the attack.

Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani says the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) wants relations with countries around the world which are not opposed to Islamic principles and Sharia law.

Speaking at an event on Monday in Khost province, Haqqani emphasized that the IEA was not against interaction with the world but that it was against colonialism.

Haqqani stated that the IEA will not allow anyone to violate the religious laws of the country.

“If we want relations and interactions, we want them based on principles. As the world interacts with each other, we also want to be a partner in this interaction with the world because our interests and needs depend on trade and other matters,” said Haqqani.
