    Southern Afghanistan blasts kill 27 & wound 52

    By TVEUROPA  |  Posted March 13, 2010  |  Copenhagen, Denmark
     

    Twenty-seven people were killed and more than 50 wounded when a series of explosions hit the center of Afghanistan's southern city of Kandahar after nightfall on Saturday.

     

    Officials said the biggest attack was aimed at the prison in the city, possibly an attempt to repeat a brazen jailbreak there two years ago. The city is at the center of the Taliban's heartland and the next major target for NATO forces this year.

     

    Kandahar was the spiritual homeland of the Taliban when the strict Islamists ruled Afghanistan in the 1990s, and the U.S. and NATO commander, General Stanley McChrystal, considers it the main geographical target of the Taliban leadership.
