Six people were wounded Tuesday in a suicide attack targeting NATO peacekeepers in Afghanistan's western city of Herat. Gen. Mohammad Ayub Salangi, the police chief in Herat, said three Italian peacekeepers were on their way to the airport when the bombers' car pulled up next to their vehicle and exploded. Maj. Andrew Elmes, a spokesman for the NATO forces, confirmed the attack and said the three Italians suffered only minor injuries. Three civilians also were hurt, including a woman hospitalized in critical condition, Salangi said.
