A suicide bomber blew himself up Friday, April 15 in the police headquarters in Kandahar, the main city in southern Afghanistan, killing the head of the provincial police, local authorities said. "A suicide bomber set off explosives he was carrying into the headquarters of the police. The police chief was killed," said a spokesman for the province.
Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban and one of the main strongholds of their rebellion, is regularly hit by bloody insurgent attacks to include the Afghan security forces set to take over from NATO forces across the country by the end of 2014. Six Afghan policemen had been killed last Thursday, April 7, when the Taliban attack a police complex in the same city.
