    Afghanistan: Blasts explode at Kandahar police HQ

    Afghan police say two blasts have gone off at the police headquarters in Afghanistan's second-largest city. Casualties are feared.

    Police officer Nematullah Khan says it wasn't immediately clear what triggered the blasts Sunday or how much damage they caused at Kandahar's police headquarters.
    A second police officer who asked not to be identified says a suicide bomber attacked Gen. Abdul Raziq, a border police commander.
    Kandahar is the Taliban's former stronghold. Militants unleashed a massive attack on the city's prison in June, killing around nine police and setting free almost 900 prisoners.
