Two Policemen Killed in Herat Blast

Two Afghan policemen died when their vehicle hit a hidden roadside bomb in western Herat province today, local officials said Sunday.

One other policeman was wounded in the blast.

The police vehicle exploded when it struck a road landmine at around 11:00am in the Shindand district of Herat, provincial spokesman Mahaiuddin Noori said.

No group, including the Taliban, has claimed responsibility for the blast.

Shindand district is considered insecure within the province because of regular insurgent activity targeting Afghan police checkpoints.
