Kabul: A crowded bazaar in an Afghan town bordering Pakistan was also hit by a suicide attack on Wednesday, killing three civilians, a senior border policeman said.
The bomber blew himself up following a police chase in a town in the southern province of Kandahar.
Two children and three intelligence agents were among the
14 wounded, Khalid said, blaming the Taliban.
