The candidate, Abdullah Abdullah, was unharmed and defiantly vowed to press ahead with his campaign, calmly telling an election rally that "the aim of this incident was to create fear and anxiety among the peo- ple and prevent them from deciding their own destiny." But it was a close call for a man who many in the West hope will guide Afghanistan through a particularly dif- ficult transition, provide a steadier hand than the mer- curial outgoing President Hamid Karzai and sign a se- curity pact to allow about 10,000 U.S. troops to re- main in the country for an- other two years. At least 10 people, includ- ing three in Abdullah's en- tourage, were killed and doz- ens were wounded in the at- tack, which heavily damaged the front of his armored car, destroyed several vehicles and storefronts and left the street littered with twisted metal and other rubble. Although there was no immediate claim of respon- sibility, the bombings bore the hallmarks of Taliban militants who have vowed to disrupt the election as part of their fight against the Western-backed govern- ment. Karzai blamed the at- tack on "enemies of Afghan- istan who don't want free elections." The attack took place eight days before a runoff in which Afghans are to choose a new leader. The Taliban have recently staged a series of high-profile bombings this year, though the first round of voting on April 5 was rel- atively peaceful. The attempt on Abdul- lah's life appeared to be the first attack targeting a can- didate — as opposed to their offices and workers — since campaigning began earlier this year. If one of the candidates were to die, that would have huge implications not only for Afghanistan's sta- bility but for the Obama ad- ministration's hopes for a signed security agreement in time to make prepara- tions for keeping a residual U.S. force of trainers and advisers in the country af- ter 2014. Both candidates in the June 14 runoff say they will sign the pact, which Karzai has refused to do. The Af- ghan constitution says new elections must be held in the event of a candidate's death. A former Afghan foreign minister, Abdullah was the runner-up in the disputed presidential elections of 2009 and hopes again now to succeed Karzai, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. Abdullah is the leading contender in the runoff, fac- ing former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai. In the initial balloting, he gar- nered 45 percent of votes while Ahmadzai came in sec- ond with 31.6 percent. Abdullah — who is half Pashtun and half Tajik — has a strong following among ethnic Tajiks but has sought to broaden his sup- port base by choosing a well- known leader of the minor- ity ethnic Hazara group and a Pashtun leader of the pow- erful Hezb-i-Islami group as vice presidential candidates. Former presidential can- didate Zalmai Rassoul, who is now supporting Abdullah, was in the car with Abdul- lah on Friday but was not in- jured. Abdullah had just ad- dressed a rally at a wedding hall and was heading toward a campaign event at the In- tercontinental Hotel when his convoy was hit along a street in a commercial area of western Kabul. The attack took place about noon, when many Afghans were indoors for Friday prayers. Interior Ministry spokes- man Sediq Sediqqi said a sui- cide bombing was followed by a roadside bomb. But Gul Agha Hashim, Kabul's crim- inal investigation chief, said the first blast was carried out by a suicide bomber on foot and the second by a sui- cide car bomber. Health Minister Suraya Dalil told The Associated Press that 10 people were killed and 37 wounded. Three of those killed were a driver and two were body- guards in another car in Abdullah's convoy, accord- ing to Fazel Sangcharaki, a spokesman for the candi- date. His election opponent, Ahmadzai, condemned the attack. "The people behind this are undoubtedly the enemies of this country who are tak- ing the lives of innocents," Ahmadzai said. "These peo- ple don't want Afghanistan to be seen as a democratic country." "Abdullah is my oppo- nent, but I would not want any harm to come to him," he told the AP during a visit to the southern city of Kan- dahar. "I want it to be purely the people's choice whom they want to be their next leader." The vote comes at a piv- otal time as the interna- tional community prepares to withdraw combat forces by the end of this year.
