KABUL, June 6 (AFP): A suicide bomb rocked an Afghan town bordering Pakistan Saturday killing four people as clashes claimed the lives of another 12 in a fresh wave of insurgent violence, authorities said.
The suicide blast, detonated by a man on a bomb-filled motorbike, tore through a busy bus station in the southern town of Spin Boldak, police said.
"Including the suspect, five were killed and eight were wounded," said the Kandahar province border police chief, Jawad Ahmad.
The interior ministry said three people-a man, a woman and a child-were killed in a suicide attack. Eleven were wounded including five children, it said, adding the device had exploded before the bomber reached his target.
Also Saturday, Taliban militants ambushed a private security company in the southwestern province of Nimroz, killing three armed guards and wounding one, provincial governor Ghulam Dastagir Azad said.
