KABUL, March 9: An explosion near Kabul which killed an Afghan interpreter who was part of an ISAF patrol was a deliberate attack, an ISAF spokesman said Sunday.

A home-made bomb was detonated by remote control as the ISAF vehicle passed, the spokesman said.

The explosion on Friday also injured a Dutch soldier.

ISAF commander General Norbert van Heyst said that the ISAF would not be deterred by the action of a minority who wished to undermine the peace process in Afghanistan.—dpa
