| [Bangla Daily Star] Three non-combatants were killed and three others including a woman and child maimed when their vehicle hit a roadside kaboom in eastern Afghanistan yesterday, police said. The bomb was planted under a bridge in Alingar district of Laghman province before it destroyed a civilian van, provincial police chief Abdul Rahman Sarjang told AFP. Roadside bombs are frequently planted by cut-throats but there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. According to the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... , the number of civilians killed in violence in Afghanistan rose by 15 per cent in the first six months of this year to 1,462, with cut-throats responsible for 80 percent of the killings. |
