Suicide bombers hit foreign troops in Afghanistan

KABUL, June 15 (Reuters) Suicide bombers attacked foreign troops in central and southern Afghanistan today, killing several bystanders and wounding at least two soldiers, local police and a provincial government official said.

In the first attack, a suicide bomber rammed his car into a convoy of international troops in Tirin Kot, capital of the central province of Uruzgan, the official and police said.

''Two international soldiers were wounded and three children who were playing were killed and two adult civilians were wounded,'' the official, Mohammad Nabi, told Reuters by phone.

A second suicide bomber attacked a foreign troop convoy in the southern city of Kandahar, a police official said, adding that at least five civilians were wounded. He did not know if there were any troop casualties in the Kandahar attack.

A spokeswoman for NATO-led forces in Afghanistan said there had been an ''incident'' but could not immediately give details.
