Roadside bomb kills two Afghan civilians
 (KUNA) -- Two Afghan civilians were killed in a roadside bomb blast in southeastern Afghanistan on Sunday. The explosion took place in Yaqubi district of the country's Khost province, bordering the troubled region of Pakistan's Waziristan. Spokesman for the provincial police Wazir Bacha told KUNA over the telephone that the bomb was planted by Taliban. However, the militants did not issue any statement on the blast. Taliban usually use roadside bombs to target convoys of foreign and Afghan army as well as the police. Sometimes civilians also become victims of such attacks. Earlier, the Afghan Defence Ministry had announced killing four Taliban militants in an early morning clash in the recently recaptured district of Musa Qala in the restive Helmand province.
