Bomb destroys Afghan election truck, kills three

KUNDUZ, Apr 6, (AFP): A roadside bomb hit a truck carrying full ballot boxes in northern Afghanistan Sunday, killing three people a day after the country voted for a successor to President Hamid Karzai.
Eight boxes of votes were destroyed in the blast, which came as the three leading candidates voiced concerns about possible fraud.
Around seven million people turned out to vote, according to the Independent Election Commission (IEC), a turnout of over 50 percent despite poor weather and Taliban threats to target the election.
