Suicide attack injures two NATO soldiers in Afghanistan
 (KUNA) -- Two NATO soldiers were wounded when a suicide bomber hit their convoy in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday. The blast occurred in the southern city of Kandahar, the former stronghold of Taliban and a hotbed of insurgency. Afghan officials and witnesses said two vehicles of the alliance's forces were damaged in the suicide attack, which was carried out just metres ahead of a market in Kandahar city. Civilians remained unhurt. Military sources said the injured soldiers were medically evacuated to a NATO medical facility at the Kandahar Airfield. A day earlier, three NATO soldiers were killed in an attack by Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan's remote and mountainous province of Nuristan.Posted by: Fred 2006-11-02 |
