Twin blasts kill 10 Afghan policemen
Ap, Kandahar
Two bomb blasts 15 minutes apart killed 10 police yesterday, an official said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks. The first blast a remote control bomb targeting a police vehicle killed four officers, said Gul Zaman, a police official. About 15 minutes later, a secondary blast hit police attending to the wreckage of the first bomb, killing another six police and wounding five, Zaman said. An Associated Press reporter was among the journalists at the scene when the second blast went off, bloodying some officers who began shouting and carrying bodies away in the chaos. Kandahar has seen such double-attacks before a tactic often used by insurgents in Iraq but they are still comparatively rare in Afghanistan.
