Six, including senior policeman injured in Afghan attacks
2005-06-08
Two roadside bombs planted by suspected Taleban militants exploded separately in southeastern Afghanistan, injuring six people including a senior police officer, officials said on Tuesday. The deputy police commander of Khak-i-Afghan district in Zabul province and two of his guards were "badly" injured when a bomb detonated on Monday, provincial spokesman Gulab Shah Alikhil told AFP. "It was a bomb planted by the Taleban," he said without giving details.

In neighboring Kandahar province, the former stronghold of the Taleban, a similar device Monday injured three soldiers patrolling in Shahwali Kot, a hotbed for the ousted Taleban insurgency outside Kandahar city, police said. Suspected militants Tuesday fired two rockets over a government building in Qalat, the capital town of the insurgency-hit Zabul, Alikhil said, adding that the attack did not cause any casualties.
