A roadside bomb planted by insurgents struck a police van in Hazar district of the central Logar province on Saturday afternoon, killing three policemen and one passerby , provincial deputy police chief Abdul Majid Latifi told Xinhua.
Meanwhile, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said that an explosion killed three Afghan policemen and two children at a police base in Sangin district of the southern Helmand province on Saturday.
