Blast kills 7 civilians in east Afghanistan

Afghan officials said on Sunday that an explosion killed seven civilians as they tried to pull bodies of insurgents killed from the rubble of a village mosque after a night raid by NATO and Afghan troops in the country's east.            

Wardak province spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said in a statement that four insurgents were killed in Sunday's predawn operation in Sayd Abad district by the time fighting ended around 4:30 a.m.

He added that two hours later, residents started digging through the rubble and something exploded as they dug, killing seven people. He said the insurgents were wearing suicide vests, but the source of the explosion was not immediately clear.                   


A spokesman for international forces in Afghanistan confirmed that four insurgents were killed but did not have any immediate reports of civilian deaths.
