Double bombings rock Afghan town
At least six people have been killed and several wounded after two explosions hit the town of Khost in eastern Afghanistan, local police say.
The first blast, which occurred in a shop in the town's busy market, killed two people, police reported.
The second explosion, this time the work of a suicide bomber, killed two people and injured two police.
Khost, which is near the border with Pakistan and an area of Taleban activity, has seen frequent violence.
Rise in violence
Khost province borders the Pakistani tribally-administered area of North Waziristan, where a peace deal signed with militants and tribal elders last year saw the Pakistani army pull out.
US forces say the deal has led to an increase in violence on the Afghan side of the border.
