Sunday, April 13, 2008 19:27 [IST]
Herat, Afghanistan: Afghan authorities have said a third suspected attacker had been arrested after a suicide bombing on convoy of road construction workers left two Indians dead and three others compatriots injured.

"There was a suicide attack carried out by two suicide bombers against Indian roadworkers who were working on a bridge," in Nimroz province, provincial governor Ghulam Dastgir Azad told AFP yesterday.

"Two Indian engineers were killed. Several other people including three Indians were injured," he said, adding that the third suspected bomber was captured by the authorities after the blasts.

The attacker was captured with an explosive-filled jacket.

A purported Taliban spokesman, Yousuf Ahmadi, claimed responsibility but gave a different version about the attack. He said at first two mines planted by insurgents were detonated, after which a bomber blew himself up.

"It was carried out by our mujahdeen (holy warriors)," rebel spokesman, Ahmadi told AFP by phone.

"First they detonated two mines that we had buried in the area. After police and the Indians gathered there one of our devoted members carried out a suicide bombing," he added.
