AFP, Khost

A suicide bomber blew up an explosives-filled car near international troops in eastern Afghanistan Saturday, killing an Afghan child, a provincial governor said.

The bombing just outside the city of Khost was the second suicide attack in Afghanistan since Thursday when a blast in Kabul killed six civilians and wounded four international soldiers. First reports said the blast damaged a vehicle of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), Khost governor Arsalla Jamal told AFP.
