Bomb attack kills four Afghan civilians

people gather at a scene of bomb blast in afghan province of kandahar.

Local Afghan authorities say at least four people have been killed and fourteen others have been wounded in a bomb explosion at an outdoor mosque in northern Afghanistan.

According to Press TV, the victims were praying at the time when a bomb exploded at a mosque in Almar district of Faryab Province.

No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.

In 2010, violence across Afghanistan reached its worst levels since the Taliban were toppled by US-backed Afghan forces in late 2001.

UN figures released last month showed that the first six months of 2011 had been the deadliest of the war for ordinary Afghans, with 1,462 killed, a rise of 15 percent on the same period last year.

Security situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating despite the presence of some 150,000 foreign troops in the war-torn country.
