2004-12-04
A suspected Taleban militant was killed and two others injured when a bomb they were making exploded in southern Afghanistan, officials said on Saturday. Another suspect was also arrested unharmed and grenades, explosives, wires and remote-control devices were recovered after the blast at a house in the southern city of Kandahar on Friday, they said. "They were Taliban bomb-makers. The bomb they were making exploded and killed one of them, injured two and one was arrested unharmed," provincial police chief General Khan Mohammad told AFP by telephone. Another provincial security official said police were interrogating the arrested militants. "We hope we will be able to get more information about Taliban activities," he said.
