KANDAHAR, Mar 30 (AP): A suicide bomber wearing a police uniform blew himself up inside a police headquarters in southern Afghanistan Monday, killing eight people, an official said.
Three police and five civilians died in the attack in Dun district, south of the Kandahar city, said the spokesman for Kandahar's governor.
Six people were wounded, he said. A roadside bomb also killed three police in the eastern province of Paktia Monday, the interior ministry said.
Taliban attacks have spiked the last three years, as militants have taken control of wide swaths of countryside.
