Blast at Afghan intelligence centre

A bomb has ripped through a compound of government offices in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.

 
The blast on Wednesday appeared to target the city's intelligence agency and the provincial council offices.
 
A police officer at the scene said that it looked as if a car bomb had been used to carry out the attack.
 
It is not clear whether it was driven by a suicide attacker. It is also unclear how many people had been killed or injured.
 
Zemarai Bashary, a spokesman for the Afghan interior ministry, said: "There has been a blast in Kandahar city. At this stage we have no details. Police are at the scene."
