KANDAHAR: A car bomb exploded outside the main police headquarters in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Monday, killing a civilian employee and wounding 16 other people, police said.
The vehicle exploded in the police headquarters' car park, blasting out windows in a radius of several hundred metres, witnesses said.
The man killed by the remote controlled bomb was a civilian working for the headquarters, while nine police were among the wounded, said deputy provincial police chief Fazel Mohammad Shairzad.
The interior ministry said the blast was caused by a station wagon packed with explosives.
Hours earlier in the same province a suicide bomb attack targeting a NATO convoy killed a foreign soldier, the NATO-run International Security Assistance Force said.
