Six children and five Nato troops killed by insurgent bomb attacks in Afghanistan

Six children, a man and five Nato troops were killed in southern Afghanistan today by explosives hidden in a pile of rubbish and a series of roadside bombs.

The children were rummaging through the rubbish for food scraps and bottles in the southern province of Uruzgon when a blast killed them, police spokesman Farid Ayal said. A civilian man also died in the blast.

Four other children were wounded by the explosion in Trinkot, the provincial capital about 250miles south-west of Kabul.
