| Nine killed in suicide bomb blast |
| 2012-04-10 |
| NINE people were killed when two suicide bombers rammed their vehicle into a local government compound on the road from the airport to the western Afghan city of Herat today, police said. An AFP reporter, among the first to arrive at the scene, said he saw shattered bodies lying among rubble and mangled pieces of metal after the bombing. Herat province as well as most of western Afghanistan is relatively calm as insurgents have concentrated their attacks in the south and east. The responsibility for nearly all of Herat province has been transferred, or is in the process of being transferred, from NATO troops to Afghan forces. |
