16 KILLED IN 2 SEPARATE ATTACKS IN AFGHANISTAN
KABUL • Afghan officials said yesterday that two separate explosions in the country's north killed at least 16 people, almost all of them women and young girls. In the north-eastern Kunduz province, a roadside bomb struck a civilian vehicle going to a wedding on Wednesday evening, killing at least 15 people - six women, six girls and two infants, as well as the male driver.
Hours later, a gunfight and explosion at a security checkpoint killed at least one policeman. The interior ministry blamed the Taleban for the two attacks.
