A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a vehicle filled with explosives into a convoy of foreign forces in Kandahar

A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a vehicle filled with explosives into a convoy of foreign forces in Afghanistan's restive southern province of Kandahar causing casualties Wednesday, officials said. NATO confirmed in a statement that a convoy was attacked and did "cause casualties" but did not immediately give further details. He says helicopters arrived and he saw soldiers being taken away from the scene but could not determine the extent of their injuries. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, which came after at least 33 people were killed by a suicide bomber and gunman who attacked a Shi'ite Muslim mosque in the western city of Herat on August 1.
