Taliban Bombs Kill 20 Civilians

Noor Khan Nikzad, a spokesman for the Herat police chief, put the toll at 20 dead and 12 wounded. Another blast in the same area wounded four civilians, Noori, the governor's spokesman, said. In Gardez in eastern Paktia province, a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance to a NATO-run base, killing two Afghan guards, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.

It seems there is no hiding place for civilians in Afghanistan from incompetent and reckless bombers from Nato and the Taliban.
