Three suicide bombers killed at least 28 people and wounded more than 70 yesterday when they blew themselves up outside a hospital and in a market in south-west Afghanistan.
The attack was one of the most deadly this year, and the worst in the normally peaceful Nimroz province since 2001. It comes during a surge in fighting ahead of a withdrawal by most Western troops and handover to Afghan forces by 2014.
