Suicide bomber attacks NATO convoy in Afghanistan

A suicide attacker on foot blew himself up near a Nato convoy in southern Afghanistan today, seriously wounding three civilians, while a roadside bomb killed a policeman in the east, officials said.

The latest violence came a day after the US military announced six of its troops were killed in eastern Nuristan province – the most lethal attack in a year that has been the deadliest for foreign forces since the 2001 invasion.
