KABUL, October 20 (RIA Novosti) - Two German soldiers and five Afghan children were killed on Monday by a suicide bomber in northern Afghanistan, local police said.
A police official told reporters that the suicide bomber attacked a convoy of German troops serving as part of NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), who were patrolling the country's northern province of Kunduz.
So far no organizations have claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Taliban radical Islamic group, ousted from power in Afghanistan after a U.S.-led military operation in 2001, has stepped up operations over the past year, with an increase in suicide bombings and other attacks.
