KABUL — Nineteen persons, including a British soldier, have been killed in Afghanistan in a series of attacks in the past two days, officials said yesterday, in the latest violence after the traditional winter lull.
Four policemen died yesterday in a remote-controlled bomb attack in Spin Boldak, a town near the Pakistan border in southern Afghanistan. On Monday, seven Taliban insurgents were killed in an air strike by U.S.-led troops while planting roadside bombs in the province of Paktia.
The British soldier was killed Monday when a roadside bomb hit his vehicle as it guarded a supply convoy traveling to Camp Bastion, the main British base in Helmand province.
