2005-09-27 |
Two Afghan policemen and two civilians were killed by a landmine explosion today in the restive southern province of Helmand, a provincial official said. The four were travelling in a car when the mine went off but it was not possible to say if it was newly planted device or one of the millions that litter the country after decades of war, said Haji Mohammad Wali, spokesman for the provincial governor. Wali also said two Taliban fighters were killed in an overnight clash with security forces in another part of the province. |
