JALALABAD, Afghanistan - Bomb blasts killed six Afghan intelligence agents and two policemen Monday, while the decapitated body of another agent was discovered in an attack claimed by the Taleban.The six agents died in the eastern province of Laghman where a similar blast on Sunday killed two other intelligence operatives, a bodyguard and a driver. The province is about 120 kilometres (75 miles) from Kabul. ‘Six intelligence officers were killed in the blast and another four were wounded,’ provincial police chief General Asil Totakhail told AFP. Totakhail blamed the attack on the ‘enemies of Afghanistan,’ a term used by Afghan authorities to refer to fighters for the Taleban.
Hours earlier a roadside bomb struck a police patrol in the southeastern province of Zabul, killing two policemen and wounding five, said Mohammad Wazir, chief of the district of Shamulzayi on the border with Pakistan.
