| 2011-01-07 |
| [Tolo News] At least one Afghan policeman was killed and two other coppers were maimed in a kaboom in western Nimroz province on Wednesday, officials said. The incident happened last night in Khashrod district of Nimroz while a convoy of police was passing, a local police official told TOLOnews. The maimed were rushed to a nearby hospital, official added. No groups including the Taliban have claimed responsibly for the incident. Militants use improvised bombs to target Afghan and Nato forces, but civilians are often victimised. During the past year 1292 Afghan coppers were killed in the Afghan violence, according to Afghan Ministry of Interior report. Afghan officials said they will increase their military operations in the country's volatile regions in 2011. |
