Suicide bomber kills 3
A suicide bomber rammed a car into a United Nations convoy yesterday as it drove through a market in southern Afghanistan, killing a driver and two local doctors, UN officials and police said.
Police said another 16 people were wounded in the attack, part of rising violence this year by the Al Qaida-backed Taliban in Afghanistan. The bombing occurred on a road in the town of Spin Boldak, on the border with Pakistan.
