Suicide bombers kill 18 in Afghanistan
A string of suicide bombings across Afghanistan killed 18 people, including four Canadian soldiers, today and wounded scores of others a day after Nato announced a victory over insurgents in a southern Taliban stronghold.
A bomber on a motorbike blew himself up in normally quiet western Heart province, killing 11 and wounding 18, including the province’s deputy police chief, said Sayed Hussein Anwari, Heart’s governor.
