    KABUL, Afghanistan - Four Afghan civilians were killed and three wounded in an improvised explosive device attack in Faryab province, Aug. 2.

    The explosion happened when insurgents attacked Afghan Border Police members. The civilians struck an IED as they were trying to come to the aid of the border police.

    "Once again, we see that the insurgents' indiscriminate use of IEDs has killed and injured several innocent civilians," said Col. James Dawkins, ISAF Joint Command's Combined Joint Operations Center director.

    According to ISAF records, more than 400 civilians have been killed and 860 wounded by insurgents' use of IEDs since the beginning of 2010.
