- Source: BBC NewsA suicide bomber has attacked a Nato military convoy in southern Afghanistan, killing three Nato soldiers, two of them Danish.
Police say a number of Afghan civilians were injured when the bomb went off near the convoy in Helmand province. Earlier reports said some Afghan civilians had been killed in the blast in the district of Gereshk. There has been a sharp increase in violence in Afghanistan this year. Suicide bombs are increasingly common. On Sunday night a Canadian soldier was killed in an explosion in Kandahar province. Last week, six people were killed and at least 15 injured in a car bomb attack on a coalition convoy near the airport in the capital, Kabul. Last month, a car bomb attack in southern city of Kandahar killed more than 100 people. It was the worst single attack since the fall of the Taleban in 2001. A UN report published this week said there were 8,000 conflict-related deaths in 2007 - a fifth of which were civilians.www.free-voipservice.net
