KABUL, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Fourteen civilians were killed when a roadside bomb hit a minibus in Afghanistan's remote west on Thursday, a spokesman for the local governor said, many of them members of the same family.

"The military forces have reached the site and they say that 14 people have been killed and four wounded," Shafiq Behroozyan, a spokesman for the governor of western Herat province, told Reuters.
