Roadside Bomb Kills Afghan Spy Official, 3 Others in Eastern Region
By newsdesk - Posted on October 30th, 2007
30 October 2007 -- Officials in eastern Afghanistan say a roadside bomb struck the vehicle of a district intelligence chief Tuesday, killing him and three colleagues.
A provincial spokesman said the blast killed the head of the National Directorate of Security for the Qarghai district of Laghman province.
This year has been the deadliest in Afghanistan since a U.S.-led invasion ousted the Taliban government in 2001. Taliban militants have established strongholds in the south and east, attacking U.S. and NATO troops and Afghan soldiers in ambushes and suicide bombings.
NATO and Afghan soldiers have been trying to re-establish control in southern Afghanistan. In one of several recent large operations, Afghan officials say more than 50 Taliban insurgents were killed or wounded Sunday in Uruzgan province.
