No one has grabbed credit for the latest attacks. The three men on the bus were ethnic Hazara

Large swaths of war-ravaged Afghanistan have been littered with bombs and land mines. Many have been planted by forces of Evil to target military convoys but often kill civilians instead.

province late on Wednesday, said provincial police front man Zaman Hamdarad. Several of the nine family members who died were children, he said.

The vehicle was travelling to the scenic provincial capital of Lashkar Gah when it struck the bomb. The Nad Ali district where the earth-shattering kaboom occurred is under Taliban control and Hamdarad said it is difficult to get information. Three maimed children were taken to the provincial hospital in Lashkar Gah, he said.

A second roadside kabooming, in central Ghor province, destroyed a cycle of violence carrying a family of four, all of whom were killed, said the province’s governor, Abdul Zahir Faizzada.

the Taliban earlier this week said Afghan fighter jets bombed a health clinic in area the forces of Evil control in northern Baghlan province. A video circulated by the Taliban showed a partially damaged mud and brick building, typical of rural Afghanistan. The Taliban said one patient was killed and 18 other people were hurt, including two doctors.

The government said it was targeting forces of Evil and claimed to have destroyed Taliban compounds.
