Afghanistan: 10 killed, including 3 NATO troops
A suicide car bomb exploded in the middle of a bazaar killing two people, in a string of attacks across Afghanistan that left 10 dead, including three NATO service members and five Afghan policemen, officials said Wednesday.
The blast at a bazaar in eastern Afghanistan's Khost province killed a policeman and an Afghan soldier, provincial police chief Abdul Hakim Eshaqzai said. Four others were injured in the attack in the Dwa Mandala district. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the insurgent group was responsible for the attack, which targeted foreigners. He said 14 people were killed and nine others were wounded, but the Taliban regularly exaggerate casualties caused by their attacks. (AP)
