KUNDUZ, Afghanistan, June 2 (Xinhua) -- Seven laborers were killed and six others sustained injury as a roadside bomb struck a vehicle in the northern Kunduz province on Monday night, a local official Hayatullah Amiri said Tuesday.

"A total of 13 laborers were going from one place to another place in a Taliban-held area in Khan Abad district late Monday night but their vehicle ran over a mine leaving seven dead and injuring six others," governor for Khan Abad district Hayatullah Amiri told Xinhua.

According to Amiri, the Taliban-planted mines on streets and roads in villages often claim the lives of civilians.

Taliban militants who are operational in parts of Kunduz province including the restive Khan Abad district have yet to make a comment. Enditem
