(AFP) – US soldiers have been killed in a suicide blast in southern Afghanistan's biggest city, Kandahar, along with an Afghan interpreter for the US military, police said Monday.
Khan Mohammad Mujahid, the provincial police chief for Kandahar, could not specify exactly how many troops died in the attack on the customs office in the city, which is seen as the birthplace of the Taliban.
But a spokesman for the international force in Afghanistan said he believed the number was "not high."
The attack is the latest in a string of bloody incidents to hit Kandahar, which has been the scene of a major anti-Taliban offensive by international troops.
