    KABUL, Afghanistan - Insurgents attacked a convoy that was returning from escorting Governor Mohammad Omar back to Kunduz City Saturday.

    An improvised explosive device was used in the attack and was placed in a road construction area of a normally calm area of Kunduz province, according to International Security Assistance Force officials.

    "Mullah Omar's goal is to create instability for the people of this country by targeting elected officials and innocent civilians," said U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "We will continue to work with our Afghan partners to rid the country of these coward terrorists."
