| KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - A suicide attacker targetting a NATO convoy in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar killed seven civilians and wounded several people, including two foreign soldiers, on Friday. Police and a NATO spokesman said several civilians and two NATO soldiers were wounded in the attack near the turnoff to the Kandahar airport, a major military base. The attack on Kabul highway just outside the city is the latest in an increasing number of suicide bombings that have killed about 200 people this year, already the bloodiest year in Afghanistan since the Taleban government was toppled in 2001. |
