Afghanistan: Fatal Taliban bombing targets Canada convoy (3 dead)

A suicide car bomb hit a Canadian military convoy Sunday in southern Afghanistan, killing two civilians and a senior Canadian diplomat, officials said.

Through a purported spokesman, Qari Mohammed Yousaf, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which also wounded three Canadian soldiers and 10 other people.

"These attacks will continue for a long time," he warned in a telephone call to The Associated Press. "We have many more suicide attackers ready to go. We will continue this strategy until all foreign forces leave Afghanistan." Violence in Afghanistan spiked last year, leaving about 1,600 people dead, the most since U.S.-led forces ousted the Taliban in 2001 for hosting Osama bin Laden.
