Afghanistan

Mullah Naqib, an influential tribal leader in Kandahar, and 8 others were seriously wounded in a roadside bomb attack on his convoy. Naqib negotiated the Taliban transfer of power in 2001 and has been critical of the group. Gulbuddin Hekmatyar now claims he has not split with the Taliban.
