Bomb Hits NATO Vehicle in Afghanistan

Wednesday June 16, 2004 7:01 PM By STEPHEN GRAHAM Associated Press Writer

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A bomb hit a car used by NATO-led peacekeepers in northern Afghanistan Wednesday, killing four civilians including two children, police said.

The attack came a week after 11 Chinese workers were shot in their beds in the same province, and a day after President Bush lauded Afghanistan as the ``first victory in the war on terror.''

Police said the bomb showered shrapnel on the SUV as it passed through a busy market in Kunduz, 150 miles north of the capital, Kabul.

``A mine was detonated on the edge of the road by remote control,'' Kunduz police chief Mutaleb Beg said. ``The driver lost control and ran the car into a wall.''<snip>
