"Last night there was an IED attack," Shah Mohammad, the local administration chief of Arghandab district, told AFP.

Provincial government front man Zalmai Ayoubi said an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) soldier, six Afghan coppers, two Afghan army soldiers and a translator working for the foreign forces were killed in the bombing.

An ISAF serviceman and another Afghan policeman were maimed, Ayoubi added.

A front man declined to give further details or confirm Afghan casualties.

But a Western security source confirmed to AFP that the Afghan and ISAF reports were referring to the same incident.
