| 'Suicide attacker' targets Nato convoy |
| 2006-08-29 |
| An Afghan civilian was killed and an army officer injured in a suicide attack on a Nato-led convoy in southern Afghanistan, police say. The convoy, travelling near the city of Kandahar, narrowly escaped being hit by the car bomber. The attack comes a day after a bomb at a market left 17 people dead and 47 wounded in Helmand province. An Afghan army officer who was travelling with the convoy said none of the Nato soldiers was injured. He said the civilian who died happened to be passing by when the attacker struck. The bomber hit the convoy on the main road linking Kandahar with the city's airport, the Associated Press news agency quotes Colonel Sher Shah as saying. |
