On Mar. 1, 2008, Taliban Rebels Killed 3 People by Roadside Bomb

On Mar. 1, 2008, three people including a woman were killed when a roadside bomb blew up their vehicle in eastern Afghanistan, in the third attack in the area in days, a district chief said, AFP reported.

The remote-controlled device, similar to those used by Taliban rebels waging an insurgency, exploded as the group drove to a cemetery in eastern Khost province near the border with Pakistan, the official said.

“It was the work of those who always commit such crimes,” said Alisher district chief Sher Ali, referring to the Taliban militants who are trying to topple the US-backed government in Kabul.

Four people were wounded in the attack, he said, adding all the victims were from the same family.
