ZABUL - Two civilians were killed and three wounded when a suicide car bomber attacked a convoy of NATO troops in the Shah Joy district of southern Zabul province, said deputy provincial governor Gul Shah Ali Khail. An ISAF spokesman said they were aware of an incident in Zabul in which there were casualties and they were investigating.

TAKHAR - An Afghan woman was shot dead when Afghan soldiers opened fire after their convoy hit a roadside bomb in northern Takhar province, said provincial police chief Ziauddin Mahmoodi. Three soldiers were wounded in the blast, he said.
