World Briefing | Asia: Afghanistan: NATO Forces AttackedA suicide car bomber attacked a Canadian troop convoy in the southern city of Kandahar, and a roadside bomb struck a vehicle carrying Romanian troops on a road linking Kandahar and Zabul Provinces. One Canadian and three Romanians were wounded. The explosion from the attack on the Canadians killed an Afghan man. In another southern province, Helmand, NATO reported that two Afghan women and two children were killed when troops returned fire at insurgents who had attacked them. Britain’s Defense Ministry said that its troops were involved and that an investigation had been opened. Civilian casualties caused by foreign soldiers are a delicate issue, and President Hamid Karzai has regularly called on troops to take more care. In western Herat Province late Tuesday, the Taliban destroyed a cellphone tower, the police said.
