Taxi drivers killed in Afghan explosion
[Iran Press TV] At least seven civilians have been killed in a roadside kaboom blast in Afghanistan's southern province of Zabul as the security situation continues to tank in the country.
A provincial official said the victims were taxi drivers, who had earlier been nabbed by cut-thoats.
"All the victims were drivers rounded up by Talibs Thursday afternoon from different vehicles on charge of serving government and NATO-led troops and sent them back by one car late Thursday night but the car ran over a mine leaving all seven dead," Xinhua quoted Mohammad Jan Rasoulyar, front man for the provincial governor as saying.
