17 People Injured in Three Separate Attacks
Two bombings within minutes of each other in a southern city wounded 11 people, and a suicide attack outside an army base in the east injured six Afghan soldiers, officials said.
The twin blasts in central Kandahar hit a convoy of Afghan army trucks, said army officer Khair Mohammed, who blamed the Taliban for both attacks.
In eastern Afghanistan, outside the army base in Paktika’s Gomal district, a suicide bomber drove up to the gates of the base and detonated explosives hidden in his vehicle, said army commander Gen. Murad Ali.
