KABUL: A roadside bomb ripped through a vehicle in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, killing a woman, her two newborn babies and the children's grandmother, an official said.

The father of the twins and the vehicle's driver also were wounded in the blast in Mandozayi district, Khost province, said Wazir Mohammed, a police official.

The twins were born on Saturday and the family was taking them back to their village, he said. It was not immediately clear why the vehicle was targeted.

In southern Afghanistan on Sunday, two assailants on a motorbike gunned down a high school principal, an official said.
