3 Killed in suicide attack in Afghanistan

A suicide attack outside a government compound in eastern Afghanistan's Laghman province killed three people Monday morning, a government spokesman said. The bomber, who was on foot, detonated explosives outside the main gate of the district governor's compound as a NATO convoy was passing by, said spokesman Faizan Patan. The blast killed three civilians and wounded seven people, including two policemen, the CNN reported. Last month, a suicide bomber dressed in uniform entered a military base in the province and killed five foreign soldiers and four Afghan army recruits.
