KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A roadside bomb targeting police involved in poppy eradication killed three officers and wounded three others in western Afghanistan, officials said Monday.
The policemen were returning to their base Sunday after a day of destroying poppy fields in western Farah province when a roadside blast hit their vehicle, said police spokesman Barijalaj Khan.
In Ghor province, meanwhile, a clash between poppy farmers and police conducting eradication left one civilian dead and two wounded, said deputy provincial governor Kramuddin Rezazada.
