Kabul: An Afghan official says a suicide truck bomber has targeted a military checkpoint in eastern Khost province, killing one soldier and wounding 10.
A district governor, Mohammad Akbar Zadran, says the early morning attack today in the district of Sabari started with the truck driver detonating his explosives-laden vehicle in front of the military post.
He says the explosion was so powerful that it damaged nearby houses and a school. After the blast, two Taliban gunmen opened fire at the troops, triggering a shootout that left both militants dead.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a message to the media that the Taliban targeted the military compound in Sabari in the attack.
