                         2 Killed in Afghanistan Blast

   Afghan officials say a suicide bomber has attacked a border crossing
   between Pakistan and Afghanistan, killing a border police commander and
   a civilian. Eight people were wounded in the attack.
   Authorities say there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the
   explosion Friday at the Spin Boldak crossing in Afghanistan. Such
   attacks are usually the work of Islamic militants.
   In recent weeks, Taliban insurgents have accelerated their campaign of
   suicide attacks and roadside bombs against Afghan officials and Afghan
   and U.S.-led NATO troops.
   Around 100,000 NATO troops based in Afghanistan are handing over
   security responsibility to Afghan forces before the international
   combat mission ends next year.
