TAKHAR, Afghanistan (Reuters) - A suicide bomber targeted a joint convoy of Afghan and NATO-led forces on Thursday in northern Afghanistan, killing at least six police, an official said.
Largely active in the south and east, the Taliban have stepped up their attacks in recent months in some areas of the north, which was regarded relatively safe.
One soldier from the NATO-led force and 11 Afghans were wounded in Thursday's attack in Kunduz province, near the border with Tajikistan, officials said.
