Roadside Bomb Kills 9 Afghan Policemen

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — A roadside bomb killed nine policeman Friday as they traveled in a convoy transporting four bodies believed to be Macedonian workers kidnapped in southern Afghanistan a week ago, a senior official said.

Police found the bodies late Thursday in a mountainous region in the Maywand district of Kandahar, the former Taliban stronghold, said Kandahar province Gov. Asadullah Khalid. The four Macedonian employees of a German firm were purportedly abducted by Taliban militants.

Khalid said the roadside bomb struck one vehicle in the police convoy as it was returning the bodies to Kandahar late Friday, killing nine officers and wounding three. Other vehicles in the convoy continued on to Kandahar and the bodies were later transported to Kabul.

He said authorities were investigating the bombing.
