Bombs kill 8 Afghan intelligence agents
Afp, Kabul
Bomb blasts killed six Afghan intelligence agents and two policemen yesterday, while the decapitated body another agent was discovered in an attack claimed by the Taliban. The six agents died in the eastern province of Laghman where a similar blast on Sunday killed two other intelligence operatives, a bodyguard and a driver. The province is about 120 kilometres (75 miles) from Kabul. "Six intelligence officers were killed in the blast and another four were wounded," provincial police chief General Asil Totakhail told AFP. Totakhail blamed the attack on the "enemies of Afghanistan," a term used by Afghan authorities to refer to fighters for the Taliban, driven from government in 2001 in an invasion by a US-led coalition.
