DOUBLE ROAD BOMBINGS KILL EIGHT IN AFGHANISTAN
Six adults and two children were killed in two consecutive roadside
bombings in southern Afghanistan on May 1, AFP reported. A roadside bomb
struck a civilian car in Spin Boldak, near the Pakistani border, and a
second bomb damaged a minivan whose driver had stopped to help the
victims of the first attack, Kandahar police chief Sayed Aqa Saqib told
AFP. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the bombings. Kandahar
Province and Spin Boldak in particular have been targeted heavily by
Taliban extremists. AT
