A roadside bomb exploded next to an Afghan army vehicle, killing all six soldiers on board, while a separate bomb and gunfire attack left two Nato soldiers wounded, officials said today.

Insurgents ambushed the Nato troops in southern Zabul province, wounding two soldiers and damaging four vehicles with a roadside bomb and gunfire, said Captain Andre Salloum, a spokesman for Nato’s troops in the south.
