Insurgent attack in Afghanistan kills five

Afghan police say five people were killed and two were wounded when gunmen opened fire on a car in an attack in one of the country’s eastern provinces.

Friday’s attack took place in Nangahar province as seven civilians were travelling through Khogyani district early in the morning. The provincial police spokesman, Hazrat Hussain Mashraqiwal, says the attack was carried out by “insurgents,” a term that usually refers to the Taliban, and that police are investigating.AP
