Series of Attacks Hit Afghanistan
Afghan and NATO forces fought a series of clashes with insurgents on Saturday in what may be a sign of increasing guerrilla activity as the spring weather allows more freedom of movement for the fighters.Three Indians and one Afghan driver working on road construction in southwestern Afghanistan were killed in a suicide car-bomb attack, Afghan officials said.
A Taliban spokesman took responsibility for the attack.
The Defense Ministry reported that 24 Taliban fighters had been killed in a battle with Afghan and NATO forces in the southern province of Zabul.
In Kandahar Province, four policemen were killed when Taliban insurgents attacked a poppy eradication team in the district of Bandi Temur, the Kandahar police chief, Sayed Agha Saqib, said.
Afghan authorities said that they had discovered a grave in northern Balkh Province containing at least 100 bodies believed to be victims of a Taliban massacre in the 1990s, Reuters reported.
