String of bombings kill at least 21 people, including children, in Afghanistan
A string of attacks across Afghanistan, including one by a suicide bomber pushing an ice cream cart, killed at least 21 people Saturday, as the U.N. said in a new report that May was the deadliest month for Afghan civilians since 2007.
The worst attack took place in the Khakrez district of Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan, where a roadside bomb killed all 16 people traveling in a minibus, including eight children, said provincial police chief Abdul Raziq.
He said the bomb was planted by the Taliban and was intended for NATO or Afghan forces.
