Violence Still 'Too High' in Afghanistan, US General Says

Ayesha Tanzeem

   KARACHI, PAKISTAN - Multiple attacks in Afghanistan Tuesday killed at
   least 10 police officers and government employees, a day after a top
   U.S. general warned violence in Afghanistan was "simply too high."

   Four of the people killed Tuesday were civilian employees of the Afghan
   government and were shot in Kabul by unknown gunmen. Another was a
   driver working for the Afghan Foreign Ministry who died when his car
   was targeted using a magnetic bomb.
