阿富汗坎大哈发生致命汽车炸弹爆炸

2012-08-29来源:VOA

A car bomb has exploded in Afghanistan's second-largest city, Kandahar, killing at least one person and wounding at least 14 others.

Local authorities say Monday's car bomb appeared to target Kandahar's police chief, Abdul Razaq, who was driving by in his car at the time of the attack. He escaped unhurt.

The attack comes after officials in southern Afghanistan said Taliban insurgents beheaded 17 Afghan civilians, including two women. Afghanistan's Interior Ministry says the civilians were killed late Sunday in the Kajaki district of Helmand province.  

There are conflicting reports about the reasons for the killings. Earlier, Afghan officials said the Taliban attacked a late-night party because insurgents disapprove of music and dancing.  But Helmand's governor said the killings followed a long-standing feud between two Taliban commanders over the two women.
