Afghanistan bomb kills Nato personnel in Zabul
A bomb in Afghanistan's southern Zabul province has killed five Americans - three soldiers and two civilians serving with the Nato-led forces - and an Afghan doctor.The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said they were killed when a suicide bomber detonated a car full of explosives. Another American civilian was killed in an insurgent attack in the east. In Zabul, the suicide bomber blew up his car between a convoy carrying the province's governor and his officials, and a US military convoy. They were passing one another by chance just outside a hospital and a school in the provincial capital, Qalat. Zabul province is next to Kandahar, and shares a border with Pakistan. The BBC's Caroline Wyatt in Kabul says provincial Governor Mohammad Ashraf Nasery believes his vehicle was the intended target. Posted by: tipper 2013-04-06 |
