A suicide bomber has blown himself up near a convoy of US-led troops in the main city of volatile southern Afghanistan, wounding up to three passers-by, police and witnesses said.

The attacker detonated explosives strapped to his body as the convoy passed near the governor’s house in the centre of Kandahar City, said police official Said Ghafar.

“Three civilians have been wounded, one of them badly,” he told AFP Sunday.

The attack was similar to one in the city exactly a week earlier when a man blew himself up near another coalition convoy, killing a passer-by and wounding a Canadian soldier and two civilians.

Witnesses to the latest attack said they saw the bomber hurl himself at the first vehicle in the convoy. A coalition Humvee was slightly damaged and splattered with flesh and blood, an AFP correspondent said.
