Afghanistan: 50 Killed in Market Bombing 
-----------------------------------------


 
In Afghanistan, at least 50 people have been killed in Paktika province
after a car bomb exploded in a crowded market. All the dead are believed
to be civilians. The blast came hours after a roadside bomb killed two
employees of outgoing Afghan President Hamid Karzai in the capital
Kabul. The Taliban claimed responsibility for that attack.
