KANDAHAR: A suicide bomber exploded a bomb-filled car near a convoy of NATO-led troops in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, killing one person and wounding five, police and witnesses said.
There were no International Security Assistance Force casualties in the blast in the southern city of Kandahar but a military vehicle was damaged, an ISAF spokesman said.
Police at the scene said one person, who appeared to be a Pakistani national, was killed. Five Afghans were wounded, police colonel Abdul Ali said.
Parts of the attacker's body littered the site. "It was a suicide attack," Ali said.
Kandahar suffers most of the suicide attacks in Afghanistan that are claimed by the Taliban movement that is waging an insurgency against the government.
There have been around 40 suicide blasts in Afghanistan this year, according to ISAF figures. More than 100 people, almost all civilians, have died in those attacks which are usually targeted at troops.
