Afghanistan - Suicide Bomber Kills 4 - NYTimes.com A suicide bomber exploded a car near a British reconstruction team traveling in a convoy through the center of Lashkar Gah in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, killing four Afghans, including a child, and wounding 31 others, the provincial governor's office and the British government said. Three British citizens were hurt in the explosion, Britain's Foreign Office said. It was unclear whether the convoy was the target of the attack. The reconstruction team is one of dozens across Afghanistan in which civilian and military personnel lead efforts to build roads and schools and to help local governments become more effective. Lashkar Gah was among the first cities where Afghan security forces assumed sole control last summer in the first stage of a transition from American security.
