Afghan official: 20 people killed by roadside bomb

A roadside bomb killed at least 20 passengers traveling on a minibus Thursday in western Afghanistan, another example of civilians being caught in the crossfire of the fighting between Taliban insurgents and the U.S.-led coalition.

In the country’s east, a suicide car bomber attacked a coalition base, killing two Afghan security guards, officials said, and the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

A minibus ran over a roadside bomb in Obe district in the western Herat province, setting off a blast that killed at least 20 of the 25 passengers, said Raouf Ahmadi, a police spokesman for several provinces in western Afghanistan.

Abdul Bashir, an elder of a village in the district, put the death toll at 23.

“It was a big, powerful blast,” Bashir said. “Among the dead are men, women and children. The bodies are not easily recognizable.”
