Militants blow up election truck in Afghanistan, 3 killed

At least three people have been killed in Afghan’s northern Kunduz Province, when a blast destroyed a truck carrying ballots cast in Saturday’s presidential election. The vehicle was demolished by a roadside bomb, local authorities said. The Taliban militant movement pledged to derail the election and carried out a number of attacks on polling stations and officials before and on the election day, but failed to prevent the vote from going ahead.
