KHOST, Afghanistan - Taleban rebels shot dead an Afghan interpreter, a policeman was killed in a bomb blast and 10 others were injured Thursday in the latest incidents of violence in Afghanistan, officials said.
The interpreter working with NATO-led troops was killed and his three colleagues were injured when unknown attackers fired at their vehicle outside the eastern city of Khost, provincial official Badi-ul Zaman Sabaraia said. Sabaraia blamed the attack — which happened while they were on their way to work and did not involve NATO forces — on Taleban remnants. “The enemies attacked these innocent translators. One of them was killed and three others were injured,” he told AFP.
A doctor in the cityÂ’s hospital said three injured men were admitted to his hospital and a body was also brought there. |
