Four Afghans killed in suspected Taleban attacks
KHOST, Afghanistan - A policeman, a military driver and two civilians were killed and an Afghan general was wounded in two separate attacks by suspected Taleban rebels in Afghanistan, officials said on Tuesday.
A bomb tore through a military vehicle Monday in Urgun, a troubled district in the eastern province of Paktika, killing the driver and injuring General Zia-Ul Haq of the Afghan National Army and his bodyguard, officials said. âIt was the work of the Taleban,â military official Sana-Ul Haq told AFP, adding that the bomb was detonated remotely. He did not say how he knew that the hardline Islamic militia was behind the attack.
