Roadside bomb kills 11 as Afghan polling continues for 2nd day

A total of 11 civilians were killed in a roadside bomb in the eastern Nangarhar province as voting for parliamentary elections continued for 2nd day in Afghanistan's 14 out of 34 provinces on Sunday, a provincial official Attaullah Khogiani said.

Voting in Kandahar and Ghazni provinces has been postponed for security reasons.

"A mine planted by militants struck a civilian car in Achin district at 11:00 a.m. local time today killing 11 civilians including a woman and six children," Khogiani told Xinhua.

Taliban militants who have vowed to disrupt the voting process and conducted 168 attacks on the first day of elections on Saturday which claimed scores of lives, are yet to make comment about organizing roadside bombing in Nangarhar.
