KANDAHAR CITY (PAN): Three people were wounded during a suicide attack in southern Kandahar province on Thursday morning, an official said.

Col. Khan Muhammad Mujahid said the attacker blew himself up before police fired at him. Two women in a rickshaw and a policeman at the site were injured.

NATO-led foreign troops, who were in the locality at the time of the bombing, were the apparent target, the police chief believed.
