KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — A suicide car bomber attacked a group of international troops at a bazaar in southern Afghanistan yesterday, killing three NATO soldiers and four Afghans, officials said.
Two Danish troops, a Czech special forces soldier, and an Afghan translator were killed in the attack in the Gereshk district of Helmand province.
Provincial police Chief Mohammad Hussein Andiwal said the suicide car bomb killed three Afghan civilians and wounded seven others. Four soldiers also were wounded in the attack, a NATO spokesman said on condition of anonymity, citing policy.
Mr. Picek said a second Czech soldier was not seriously injured and likely would be released soon.
