Suspected Taliban guerillas killed five Afghan civilians working at a US military base in the eastern province of Kunar province late on Monday, while in the capital Kabul two separate bombs left six people wounded. "Insurgents opened fire on a truck on Monday evening carrying labourers working in a US military base in Korangal village in the Dara-e-Pech district of Kunar province killing five of them and wounding another," Zahidullah Zahid, spokesman for the Kunar governor, told IRIN. Zahid said the labourers were driving home from work when armed militants stopped the vehicle and fired on them. In another incident also early on Tuesday, an interior ministry official was wounded in the eighth precinct of Kabul city when a remote-control bomb exploded near a bus carrying government officials to work, according to Paktiawal.
