Roadside Bomb Kills 5 Afghan Border Guards |
2009-11-23 |
[Quqnoos] At least five Afghan border policemen were killed in a roadside bomb blast in southern Afghanistan on Sunday. Gen Abdul Raziq, a border security commander, told the Associated Press that the bombing occurred before dawn on a heavily used road in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar province, the birthplace of Taliban. The district is in a volatile area, which has been patrolled mostly by border security police. No groups, including the Taliban, have made an immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Roadside bombing is a frequently used tool for the Taliban militant to target Afghan and international forces across the country. |
