AN Afghan government minister survived a bomb attack on his motorcade in northern Afghanistan yesterday.
It was the second assault on a high-profile politician in two days.

"The minister is safe," Munshi said. "Two policemen were wounded in the bomb attack."
Two of Obaid's bodyguards were wounded.
