 KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - A suicide bomber blew up a room full of policemen eating lunch at a southern Afghan checkpoint Thursday, killing 10 officers and wounding 11, while a roadside bomb in the east killed a NATO soldier, authorities said.
In the west, kidnappers released a German man and his translator, hours after demanding $40,000 for their freedom, officials said.
The latest violence brought to over 3,000 the number of people — mostly militants — killed in insurgency-related violence in Afghanistan this year, according to an Associated Press tally of numbers provided by Western and Afghan officials.
