   Men  injured  in  a  passenger  bus  accident  rest  at  a hospital in
   Kandahar,  Afghanistan.  The  speeding  bus  flipped  over  Monday  in
   southern  Afghanistan,  killing  over two dozens of people who were on
   board, Afghan police said, 26 Jul 2010.

   Afghan  officials  say  a  crowded  bus  has struck a roadside bomb in
   southwestern  Afghanistan,  leaving  at  least  25  civilians dead and
   another 20 wounded.
   The  bomb  exploded  Wednesday  on  a stretch of highway in Delaram in
   Nimroz province as the bus was traveling toward Kabul.
   Provincial  governor  Ghulam  Dastgir  Azad told reporters he believes
   insurgent forces were behind the blast.
   A  NATO  official also blamed insurgents for the bus bombing and for a
   separate deadly attack in southern Afghanistan.
   NATO  says  two  civilians  were  killed  in that incident, when their
   vehicle struck an improvised explosive device.
   Colonel  Rafael  Torres  of  the  ISAF Joint Command denounced what he
   called  the "cowardly, murderous attacks" and said insurgents will not
   prevent the coalition from securing Afghanistan.
