 KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - A roadside bomb killed six Afghan soldiers Tuesday in southern Afghanistan, an Afghan army general said, and four private security workers were killed elsewhere in attacks blamed on Taliban rebels.
Suspected Taliban militants with explosives strapped to their bodies also blew themselves up in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, but no other casualties were reported in the blast, a provincial official said.
The attack on the army vehicle happened on a road in Helmand province, some 120 miles northwest of Kandahar, said Gen. Rehmatullah Raufi, a top Afghan army official in the province. He blamed Taliban for the attack, but offered no evidence.
