8 NATO troops killed in Afghanistan blasts

KABUL - Eight NATO soldiers have been killed in a series of bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan, while six children and a man were killed in a bombing in Uruzgan on Friday. Three soldiers died on Thursday, another lost his life in a blast on Friday and four more were killed in second attack later the same day. NATO’s US-led International Security Assistance Force did not release the nationalities of the soldiers, in keeping with policy.
Meanwhile, at least six children and one man were killed when a bomb planted in a garbage bin exploded Friday in Tirin Kot, capital of Afghanistan’s southern province of Uruzgan, police said. Four other children who were playing nearby were wounded, said spokesman Fardi Ayel. “At around 3:00 pm today there was an explosion in Tirin Kot city, initial information we have is that six children and one man have been killed,” he said. There was no obvious target for the bombing, although the home of a local police commander was nearby, he said.
