A man and a child were killed, and eight women, four men and four children were maimed, provincial front man Daud Ahmadi said. "The Taliban waved to the bus to stop. The driver didn't stop and the Taliban opened fire. Two people, one of them a child, were killed," Ahmadi told Agence La Belle France Presse.
