    KABUL - Three Afghan civilians were killed and two more wounded when their vehicle struck an improvised explosive device in the Waghaz District of Ghazni province yesterday.

    In a separate incident yesterday, an Afghan civilian was injured in an IED blast in the Nahr-e Saraj District of Helmand province.

    "Insurgents continue to take innocent lives by planting these deadly IEDs on roadways travelled by ordinary civilians," said U.S. Air Force Col. James Dawkins, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director.

    According to a recent UN report, insurgents were responsible for the deaths and injuries of more than 2,470 civilians in the first six months of 2010.
