Bomb attack kills 5 in S Afghanistan

The incident occurred along the road near the Ghazni city on Sunday when the bus was travelling from Kabul to the city of Kandahar in the southeast.

No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Medics in the local hospital confirmed the number of the casualties.

Insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan, despite the presence of about 130,000 US-led forces in the war-ravaged country.

The 2001-present US-led war in Afghanistan, which has caused record-high civilian and military casualties, has become the longest military conflict in the American history.

The United Nations announced on February 4 that 2011 was the deadliest year on record for Afghan civilians. The year’s death toll rose by eight percent compared to the year before and was roughly double the figure for 2007.
