Afghanistan police chief survives suicide attack
The police chief of Afghanistan’s troubled Kandahar province on Wednesday survived a suicide bombing just behind his fortified office, officials said. The militant wearing an explosives-packed vest and posing as a civilian visitor had made it to the waiting room of General Abdul Raziq’s office before detonating. “We think it was a premature explosion. The explosion took place at the waiting room of the police chief,” Ghorzang, Raziq’s secretary, said.
