    KABUL- One Afghan child was killed and three others were wounded in an improvised explosive device attack in Qal-Ah-Ye-Zal District, Kunduz province today.
    According to reports, the IED was placed on a bike lying in a ditch when it exploded.

    The wounded children were taken to a civilian hospital.

    "This was a senseless, barbaric act. We won't rest until all Afghans can live in peace," said U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, International Security Assistance Force Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of these children."
