At least eight people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on a Nato convoy in southern Afghanistan's Helmand province, officials have said.| Turns out that was easier than investing Kandahar, except for the guy who exploded... |
The incident came a day after Nato and Afghan forces said they concluded an operation to push Taliban-inspired fighters from villages in the Arghandab district of Kandahar province.
The US-led coalition said on Friday that two of its soldiers were killed while conducting operations against opposition fighters on Thursday. "One coalition service member died of gunshot wounds and two others were wounded while conducting operations in Helmand province Thursday around 8pm [1530 GMT]," a coalition statement said.
