Afghan suicide blast kills Kandahar police chief

By Nasrat Shoaib (AFP) – 11 hours ago

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — The police chief in the key southern Afghan province of Kandahar was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber Friday along with two of his bodyguards, officials said.

The killings at the police headquarters in Kandahar city are a serious blow to security in the province, seen as the birthplace of the Taliban and a pivotal battleground in the near ten-year war against the Islamist militants.

They are the latest in a wave of insurgent attacks against the 120,000-strong Afghan police, who are due to take on more responsibility for security ahead of the planned withdrawal of foreign combat troops in 2014
