LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Eleven Afghans including a former district police chief were killed on Wednesday in an attack in Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand, the provincial governor said.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible, he said.
More than 800 people have been killed in Afghanistan over the past year in a wave of violence, most of it in the south and east of the country and most of it the result of Taliban rebel attacks.
And how many men and women were executed each year by the Taliban prior to their ouster?
