Nine killed when bus hit by roadside bomb
A roadside bomb blew up beneath an Afghan bus southwest of Kabul on Monday, killing nine people and injuring at least 22 others in an attack blamed on Taliban Attaullah Khogyani, the governor's spokesman in Wardak province, said, "Today at around 8:00 am an IED (improvised explosive device) hit a bus. At least 22 people are wounded and nine others, including a woman, are dead." The bus was a government service making daily trips between the capital Kabul and Ghazni, a neighbouring province to the southwest. Ghulam Farouq Wardak, the public health director of the province, confirmed that nine people had been killed and said that three children were among the injured. Several of those taken for medical treatment were in a critical condition. Posted by: ryuge 2013-04-08 |
