    KABUL- An improvised explosive device detonated in northern Afghanistan today, causing several civilian casualties.

    The attack killed five civilians, including an Arbaki leader, and wounded two more. Afghan National Police and coalition forces responded to the site to provide security and assess the incident.

    "IEDs continue to kill and hurt innocent Afghan people who are going about their daily lives," said U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, International Security Assistance Force Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "I offer my condolences to the families affected by this and other senseless attacks."
