A roadside bomb was defused by the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force ( ISAF) Friday near southern Afghanistan's restive city of Kandahar, causing no casualty, Xinhua reported.
Fazal Ahmad Shizad, deputy police chief of Kandahar province, told Xinhua that ISAF service members successfully detected and defused the bomb around one km off Kandahar city, the provincial capital.
Kandahar province, branded as the Taliban hotbed, has been seeing increase of violence since the ISAF announced to launch a major offensive on the Taliban earlier this year.
