Six killed by Afghan roadside bomb
KANDAHAR: A roadside bomb killed six civilians, mostly women and children, travelling in a motorised rickshaw in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, police said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but similar attacks are usually blamed on orcs terrorists Taliban insurgents fighting to overthrow the Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai.
