None
roadside bomb killed 10 laborers and wounded 28 on Tuesday as they were driving to work to clean streams in southern Afghanistan, officials said. Separately, an Afghan deputy intelligence chief escaped an attempted suicide bombing claimed by the Taliban in the nation's capital.
The roadside bomb tore through a truck carrying the workers through restive Kandahar province, said Dr. Qayoum Pakhla, the director of Kandahar Hospital. The local government in the region employed the men to work cleaning rivers and streams there. (AP)
