Kabul: A suicide bomber in northern Afghanistan has killed two German soldiers and five children. The governor of Kunduz province, Mohammad Omar, said two other German soldiers and two children were wounded in the blast today in the province's Chahar Dara district.
NATO confirmed that some of its soldiers were killed and wounded in the attack. Omar says the soldiers were patrolling on foot when the bomber riding a bicycle hit them.
Taliban-militants regularly use suicide bombers to attack foreign and Afghan troops. But many of their victims have been civilians.
