KABUL, Afghanistan - Five Afghan children were killed and one Afghan National Police member was injured when a suicide bomber using a vehicle borne improvised explosive device attempted to attack the governor of the Dand district in Kandahar province.
The attacker's device detonated before reaching its destination, causing the civilian casualties. A short time later, another improvised explosive device detonated nearby, but nobody was injured.
"The killing of innocent civilians, especially children, is reprehensible by anyone's standards. This act of terrorism and the many like it should be all it takes for people to understand the motivation and thought process of the insurgents," said Maj. Gen. Michael Regner, deputy chief of staff for combined joint operations, ISAF Joint Command.
