Seven civilians killed in Afghan bombing: officials
Seven people were killed and three children injured Thursday when a car hit a mine in southern Afghanistan, officials said, in a blast bearing the hallmarks of Taliban militants. The civilians, all in one car, were travelling to a shrine in southern Kandahar province's restive Khakriz district when it hit the improvised bomb, a weapon of choice for Taliban and other militants. "Seven civilians -- five women and two men -- were killed and three children aged from two to eight were wounded," Zalmai Ayoubi, a spokesman for the provincial administration, told a foreign news agency. He did not blame any group for the bombing but similar devices are widely used by Taliban militants in their campaign against the US-backed government in Kabul and its Western military backers.
