12 Civilians Killed in Afghanistan
----------------------------------



In Afghanistan, at least twelve civilians have been killed in two
militant attacks. Half the victims died when Taliban forces open fired
on a group of truck drivers in eastern Kunar province. A new UN report
says last month was the year’s deadliest for Afghan civilians. Overall,
more than 1,500 civilians have been killed so far this year, an increase
of nearly 400 over the same period in 2008.
