Six Afghan Children Die in Suicide Bombing
------------------------------------------



In Afghanistan, six children died Monday when a suicide car bomber
attempted to assassinate the governor of Dand District. The governor
survived, but the blast killed three boys and three girls who were
between the ages of six and ten. Meanwhile, militants have launched a
rocket and ground attack on the main foreign military base in
Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province. Two rockets hit inside the
base, reportedly killing one foreign soldier and wounding some
civilians.
