KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - A suicide bomber detonated himself Monday near a convoy of foreign troops in southern Afghanistan, killing two Canadian soldiers and an Afghan civilian, police said.
The attacker drove his car up to the convoy and then blew himself up, said Kandahar provincial police chief Ismatullah Alizai. Another civilian was wounded, and some 15 camels who were with a group of nomads were killed, he said.
Maj. Luke Knittig, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force, confirmed that two ISAF soldiers were killed, but he didn't release their nationalities.
He said the soldiers were helping assist reconstruction projects in the Panjwaii and Zhari districts outside Kandahar. The areas have been the scene of heavy clashes the last several months.
