KABUL, July 25: A roadside bomb along a busy Kabul road killed two Afghans on Tuesday as fighting in the eastern provinces left a US soldier and seven suspected Taliban dead, officials said.
The Afghan government, meanwhile, launched an urgent appeal for US$76.4 million to tackle an “imminent food crisis” caused by prolonged drought in the country. The bomb in Kabul killed a man and a woman riding in taxi, and wounded four others, said Faiz Ahmad Hotaq, a police official.—AP
