Four die in Afghanistan bomb blast

Published March 11, 2007

KABUL: A roadside bomb killed four Afghan militia soldiers allied to the US-led forces in south-eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, officials said.

In a separate incident, at least two people were killed and four wounded in a clash between fighters of two rival commanders in the western Ghor province. No one claimed responsibility for the blast in a remote area in the south-eastern Khost province, near the Pakistan border. Taliban militants have been blamed for such attacks in the past.—Reuters
