Suicide bomber kills at least two in Afghan south

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Dec 14 (Reuters) A suicide attack killed at least two people in southern Afghanistan today, police said, in the latest incident in the bloodiest year since the Taliban's ouster five years ago.

The attack happened soon after a convoy of President Hamid Karzai's security guards passed through Qalat, the provincial capital of southern Zabul province, on their way back from a presidential visit to the south.

Residents believe the target of the attack was Karzai's guards who were driving towards the capital, Kabul.
