Report: Suicide blast kills 13 Afghans
A remote-controlled bomb exploded near families having a picnic in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing at least 13 people and wounding about 40, NATO and Afghan officials said.
Earlier reports from the area said a suicide bomber on foot had caused the blast close to a group of local officials handing out seeds to villagers as part of a program to dissuade people from growing opium poppy. (Reuters)
