An explosion rocked Kandahar, 450 km south of capital city Kabul Monday morning, leaving one person dead, wounding six others, police said.
"A suicide bomber riding a motor-bike blew himself up in the 3rd precinct of Kandahar city, the capital of Kandahar province this morning as a result one civilian was killed and six others sustained injuries," provincial police chief Abdul Raziq told Xinhua.
