Kabul : A suicide car bomber targeted a military convoy in Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province Wednesday wounding six persons including two Canadian servicemen, a senior police officer in the province Abdul Raziq said.
“The terrorist driving a car exploded it next to a Canadian military convoy on the Spin Boldak-Kandahar highway this morning injuring six persons including two Canadian soldiers,” Raziq told Xinhua.
Two passers-by and two Afghan police were also injured in the explosion, he added.
Canadian military officers were not immediately available to make comment.
Some 2,500 Canadian forces have been serving in Taliban former stronghold Kandahar under the NATO flag to stabilize security in the restive region.
Escalating insurgency and violent incidents have left more than 2,000 people dead since January this year in the war-torn Afghanistan.
