Bomb kills one in Kabul

January 31, 2008

A purported Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said one of the militant group's suicide bombers was responsible for the blast. The Taliban is leading an insurgency against government and foreign forces based in Afghanistan. In the latest violence, Taliban fighters beheaded four Afghan civilians who worked for a local road project in the eastern province of Nuristan on Wednesday, the interior ministry said.
