Suicide attack on convoy kills 7
A suicide bomber targeted Indian road construction workers and their police escorts, killing seven people and injuring 13 in southwestern Afghanistan, an official said.
The convoy had been traveling on a main road toward the city of Khash Rod in Nimruz province when it was first hit by a remote-controlled bomb planted on a motorcycle, wounding one policeman, said Gov. Ghulam Dastagir Azad.
The convoy stopped and a suicide bomber set off a secondary attack, leaving six policemen and an Indian worker dead, Azad said.
