Kabul - At least one civilian and two Afghan police were killed, while two others were injured in a suicide attack in Dand district of Kandahar province, officials said Monday.
The suicide bomber in police uniform was trying to enter into the Dand district headquarters when guards at the main gate stopped him, and he detonated the explosives, said Zulmai Ayubi, spokesman for the provincial government.
'There are no any casualties of the district officials reported but the explosion damaged the main entrance of the building,' he added.
Taliban militants had not commented but Ayubi blamed them for the attack.
