A landmine left over from decades of conflict in Afghanistan has killed 10 girls as they collected firewood in the east of the country. Officials say the girls, aged between nine and 11, were collecting wood in remote Chaparhar district, near the border with Pakistan, which is infested with some of the world's most dangerous militant groups. Chaparhar district governor Mohammad Sediq Dawlatzai told AFP they accidentally struck the mine with an axe.
