Afghanistan: Blasts explode at Kandahar police HQ

Afghan police said on Sunday that two blasts went off at the police headquarters in Afghanistan's second-largest city, and that casualties were feared. Police officer Nematullah Khan said that it wasn't immediately clear what triggered the blasts or how much damage they caused at Kandahar's police headquarters. A second police officer who asked not to be identified said that 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 about nine police and setting free almost 900 prisoners.
