Bombings in Afghanistan kill 5 people, including 2 NATO soldiers
1 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A suicide car bomber attacked a government building Tuesday in eastern Afghanistan. The blast, which killed a policeman, came a day after a similar blast left four people‚ including two NATO soldiers‚ dead.
The car bomber tried to hit a government building in the Tani district of eastern Khost province, but Afghan guards opened fire toward the car, said Khost Gov. Arsallah Jamal.
A policeman was killed and five other people, including an Afghan soldier, were wounded in the explosion that followed, said district police chief Guldat Hamim.
The attack came a day after another bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into the gates of another government building in the Yaqoubi district of Khost province on Monday, causing a part of the building to collapse and trapping soldiers inside, officials said.
Four people‚ two NATO soldiers and two Afghan civilians‚ were killed in that attack and 19 other people, including 15 soldiers, were wounded, officials said.
Bodies of 6 people, including 2 children, found at Memphis home; 3 children hurt
2 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Police who forced their way into a small brick house discovered the bodies of four adults and two children, as well as three children found clinging to life.
Police said they were investigating the case as a multiple homicide but otherwise released little information early Tuesday, including whether they believed the killer was at large.
Children ages 7 and 4 and a 10-month-old baby were taken to Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center, Memphis Fire Department spokeswoman Melanie Young told The Associated Press. She did not know the ages or sexes of the other victims, but police told The Commercial Appeal newspaper all the children were under the age of 12.
"We just don't know the motive or cause of death, but we do have four adults and two children (dead)," Memphis police Lt. Jerry Guin told the newspaper.
