Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Secondary Navigation Australia China India Indonesia Japan Malaysia Philippines Thailand Vietnam Search Search: Two Spanish soldiers killed in Afghan suicide attack AFP - Monday, November 10 HERAT, Afghanistan (AFP) - - A Taliban suicide attacker rammed a bomb-filled minivan into a NATO military convoy in Afghanistan, killing two Spanish soliders and critically wounding another, authorities said on Sunday. The attack was in western Herat province's Shindand district where in August, Kabul and the UN alleged that air strikes on Taliban rebels there had killed dozens of civilians. The US military admitted later 33 had died. The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) convoy had been driving through the district with Afghan security forces when it was struck by the attacker's vehicle, Afghan police said. One soldier had died on the spot and another later succumbed to his injuries, western Afghanistan police commander General Ikramudin Yawar told AFP. Three others were wounded, he said. Yawar had identified the troops as Italian but they were later confirmed to be Spanish. "Two Spanish soldiers were killed and another was critically wounded in an attack south of Herat," the Spanish defence ministry said in Madrid. Defence Minister Carme Chacon was to speak to the media about the incident later Sunday, an official said. The NATO-led force -- which includes 2,350 Italian soldiers and 780 Spaniards -- confirmed there had been a suicide attack but was unable to give details. A spokesman for the insurgent Taliban, who were in government between 1996 and 2001, said the attack was carried out on behalf of his organisation. Fifteen Afghan and foreign soldiers were killed and wounded, said the spokesman, Yousuf Ahmadi. The extremists often exaggerate the number of casualties. Taliban insurgents have been behind scores of suicide attacks in Afghanistan, most of them targeted at Afghan and international security forces. Sunday's attack took place about two kilometres (one mile) from the village of Azizabad, where Afghan and UN investigations said 90 civilians were killed in air strikes on August 22. The US military initially said five to seven civilians were killed along with 30-35 Taliban. It reviewed its investigation under pressure, and said 33 civilians and 22 militants were killed. The conflict in Afghanistan has steadily worsened with this year seeing the most insurgent attacks since the Taliban were removed from power for sheltering Al-Qaeda. Around 256 international soldiers have lost their lives in the country this year, according to the icasualties.org website that monitors the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Two US soldiers and two Afghans were killed in a suicide attack in the northern province of Baghlan on October 27. Two German soldiers, along with five Afghan children, were killed in the far-northern province of Kunduz a week earlier.
