KABUL, Afghanistan - Gunmen fired on people praying in a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, killing three, and Taliban militants overran another district in southern Afghanistan, officials said Wednesday.


Assailants also ambushed a U.N. convoy on the main Kabul-Kandahar highway, killing two Afghan guards, wounding another and damaging two vehicles, said Jailani Khan, highway police chief for Zabul province.

In the mosque attack in Ismail Kheil, a village in Khost province, two gunmen entered the building and fatally shot three people while wounding an additional four, said Wazir Pacha, a provincial police spokesman.

However, hours later, Alizai said his forces lost Ghorak district in the same province to the militants.
