A series of bombs and explosions killed 20 people in Afghanistan's southern and eastern flashpoints on Saturday, among them at least eight children and four women, government officials said.
In the deadliest attack, a vehicle hit a mine in Arghandab district of the southern province of Kandahar, one of the main battlegrounds in the nearly 10-year Taliban-led insurgency against the Kabul government and NATO troops.
"Today at 10:00 am, 15 civilians were killed, including eight children, four women and three men," the ministry said.
One woman was also wounded in the explosion, it added.
Mines and crudely made bombs planted on the side of the road are trademark tactics of the Taliban and other Islamist insurgents fighting to bring down the Western-backed government and evict US-led foreign troops.
There has been an attempt of roping in Taliban into some kind of peace settlement.
Nobody appears to know when Afghanistan will return to Peace?
In the meanwhile, innocent women, children and others are getting killed in gruesome manner!
