Four Policemen Killed in Paktia Blast
2012-08-13
Four Afghan coppers were killed in a roadside kaboom blast in eastern Paktia province on Saturday evening, a local official said. Two other coppers were maimed in the attack.

The incident happened yesterday in the picturesque provincial capital Gardez when the vehicle they were travelling in struck a roadside kaboom, provincial front man Rohullah Samoon said.

The injured coppers were taken to a nearby hospital in the city, he said.

No group including the Taliban has grabbed credit for the attack.
