Deadly bomb strike in Afghanistan

November 13, 2008

At least 11 people have been killed in another suicide bomb attack in a troubled region of Afghanistan. An American soldier and 10 civilians died when a suicide bomber targeted US-led troops in Jalalabad. On Wednesday two British soldiers were killed on patrol in Helmand province and 10 people died in suicide bomb attacks in another part of Helmand and Kandahar. This year has been the bloodiest in Afghanistan since the Taliban's overthrow in 2001, raising fears about the success of international efforts to bring peace to the country.
