Seven Britons killed in Kandahar
Two bomb explosions have ripped through Afghanistan's southern city of Kandahar, killing several people, including seven Britons, and injuring scores of others. The first bomb was planted in a vehicle abandoned in front of a hotel. It went off on Thursday, destroying several shops and injuring at least six people. The second blast happened some three hours later, when a bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a compound accommodating foreigners. Seven foreign workers, believed to be British, died in the incident.
