The killing didn't stop today in Afghanistan as the country saw President Hamid Karzai sworn in for another term in office.
"Afghan officials say a suicide bomber targeting an Afghan security forces convoy in the south of the country has killed 10 civilians and wounded another 13," the Associated Press reports.
It happened in Uruzgan province, where Deputy Police Chief Gulad Khan says the attacker was on foot and blew himself up in a busy market, before reaching the convoy.
Reuters reports that "Uruzgan province Police Chief Juma Gul Himat said the bomber's vest exploded after he was fired on by troops while trying to attack a convoy of Afghan security forces."
And also today, the AP reports, "an explosion in violent southern Afghanistan killed two U.S. service members, NATO said. Jilani Farahe, deputy chief of police for Zabul province said
the blast was caused by a suicide car bomber detonating his explosives near the gate of a NATO base. He said no civilians had been hurt."
