Afghan bomb attacks killed 59 schoolboys

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's biggest suicide bomb attack is now known to have killed 59 schoolboys, the Education Ministry said on Friday, announcing a nationwide ban on students greeting politicians or dignitaries.

Five teachers and six members of parliament were also killed in Tuesday's blast in the relatively peaceful north of Afghanistan which has shaken public faith in the ability of the government and foreign troops in the country to provide security.

The suicide bomber blew himself up as schoolboys lined up to greet a visiting delegation of opposition parliamentary deputies in the town of Baghlan. snip

"The minister has repeatedly requested school children not to be sent to any welcoming ceremony, unless it is purely for educational programmes," said spokesman Afghan. "We told the provincial educational heads not to involve children in any programme other than educational, but they did not listen to us.
