ALLEGED WOULD-BE TERRORISTS KILLED IN CAR EXPLOSION IN KHOST
An automobile loaded with explosives killed four individuals on the night of 12 April when it blew up in Karwan Sarui, four miles east of Khost and reportedly near a U.S. airfield, "The Washington Post" and AP reported on 14 April. The four men were allegedly testing equipment for a planned terrorist attack when their bomb accidentally exploded, according to the regional military commander, General Khail Baz Sherzai, cited by "The Washington Post." One Yemeni, two Pakistanis, and one Afghan were among the dead. The identities of the foreigners have not been identified, and there were conflicting reports of the identity of the Afghan, although both "The Washington Post" and AP reported that he was a former intelligence officer for the Taliban regime who had links to Al-Qaeda. U.S. military spokesman Colonel Roger King told "The Washington Post" that the fact that foreigners were involved increases "the possibility of involvement by Al-Qaeda." KM
