Afghan Suicide Attack Targets German Soldiers

   VOA News

   Afghan officials say a suicide car bomber has hit a German military
   convoy, killing at least three civilians and wounding several others.
   The Taliban has claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack outside
   Kunduz city.
   A NATO spokesman, Major Tim James, said there were no coalition
   casualties.
   The attack follows a particularly violent day for NATO service members.
   NATO says eight of its service members died in Afghanistan Saturday.
   The alliance said four died in separate insurgent attacks - three in
   the south and one in the east. The others died in southern Afghanistan
   from injuries not related to battle. The Associated Press says they
   died in a vehicle accident.
