Suicide bombing kills two German soldiers, five children
A Taliban suicide bomber yesterday killed two German soldiers and five children in northern Afghanistan, the NATO-led force and local officials said.
The force did not give the nationalities of the dead troops but Berlin said earlier that the attack just outside the northern town of Kunduz was against German troops. The provincial governor said the two troops killed were German.
Another soldier and a civilian were wounded, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a statement The soldiers had been on patrol when they were hit
Kunduz province governor Mohammad Omar, who gave the same toll, said the bomber had been on a bicycle.
"The blast took place on a main road. This is the work of terrorists. We have arrested two suspects in relation to the incident," he said.
A spokesman for the hardline Taliban, Zabihuliah Mujahid, told AFP by telephone that the attack was carried out by one of the militia's men. He claimed a dozen foreign soldiers were killed.
It was the second suicide attack in Afghanistan - Monday after, another bomber blew himself up against an armoured Afghan army vehicle in the southern town of Lashkar Gah but killed only himself.
The attacker, who detonated bombs strapped to his body, appeared to be around 15 years old, Afghan army officer Gul Noor said. The vehicle was badly damaged.
