Bombs kill senior Afghan policeman and four others
 Bombs killed a top policeman and four other people in Afghanistan on Tuesday and rockets struck near a UN election office, but the government said Taleban guerrillas would not derail parliamentary polls in September. âThe (guerrilla) challenges are very feeble,â government spokesman Jawed Ludin told a news briefing, vowing the elections would be even more successful than last Octoberâs presidential ballot won by US-backed Hamid Karzai. The police chief of Sarkano district in the eastern province of Kunar was killed along with two of his sons when a roadside bomb blew up their vehicle south of the provincial capital Asadabad, officials said. Seven police were wounded.Posted by: Steve White 2005-06-29 |
