Kandahar: A car bomb exploded near a police compound in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing at least one person and wounding four, a police official said.
The car bomb was apparently triggered remotely, said Jan Mohammad, a police officer at the site in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan's largest city and the Taliban's former stronghold.
This brings to three the number of bomb blasts in the Kandahar province in the past three days. More than 100 people were killed by a suicide bomber on Sunday just outside Kandahar city, while 38 died Monday at a market near the border with Pakistan when a suicide car bomb explosion targeted a Canadian military convoy.
