An Afghan police spokesman has raised the death toll from a suicide bombing at a Sunni mosque in western Ghor province to 33 killed, including a warlord who was apparently the target of the attack, Fox News reported Friday

Mohammad Iqbal Nizami, the spokesman for the provincial chief of police, said the bomber struck during Friday prayers, killing 33. Initial reports had 10 dead in that attack.

Nizami added that the attack apparently targeted local commander, Abdul Ahed, a former warlord who has sided with the government. Seven of his bodyguards were also killed in the attack.

The attack in Ghor happened as a suicide bomber targeted a Shiite mosque in western Kabul, also during Friday prayers, killing at least 30 people.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for either attack.
