Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, a spokesman for the governor of eastern Nangarhar province, said the bomber had crossed into Afghanistan from the Pakistan side of the border at one of the two main overland supply routes between the neighboring countries. Abdulzai put the death toll at two and said 10 were wounded. Afghanistan's Interior Ministry said one person, a child, was killed, and at least eight wounded. Three police officers, including a female officer who worked at the border checkpoint searching women, were among the wounded, it said in a statement. Senior U.S. military commanders say violence in Afghanistan's Taliban-led insurgency has reached its highest level since the Islamist militants were ousted after a 2001 U.S.-led invasion, with most attacks in Taliban strongholds in the south and east. Police said the attack was in the eastern town of Torkham. Ambulances were rushing to the scene from nearby Jalalabad, a former Taliban and al Qaeda stronghold, a Reuters reporter in the city said. Abdulzai said it appeared the suicide bomber was a man dressed as a woman. Mohammad Zaman Mamozai, a senior police officer in the area, said the bomber detonated explosives inside a room used by female security guards to search women. The checkpoint was ablaze after the attack, Mamozai told Reuters by telephone from the border. U.S. President Barack Obama has identified Afghanistan and Pakistan as his main foreign policy priority. Washington is pouring in thousands of extra U.S. troops in a bid to stabilize Afghanistan as part of a new regional strategy. The reinforcements are meant to help secure August 20 presidential elections in Afghanistan as well as to combat the Taliban and their al Qaeda allies. Of the two main overland supply routes for land-locked Afghanistan, one runs from Pakistan's northwest through the famed Khyber Pass to the Torkham crossing point. The other route runs through Pakistan to the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.
