A suicide bomber targeting a Canadian military convoy left one child dead and two people wounded Saturday in southern Afghanistan, police said. No Canadian soldiers were wounded.
The bomber rammed his explosives-packed vehicle into a passing military convoy on the main highway linking the southern city of Kandahar with Herat in the west, said Ghulam Azrat, a regional police officer.
A child, who was at the side of the road as his family was working in nearby fields, was killed in the blast, Azrat said. Another child and man, members of the same family, were wounded in the attack, he said.
The Canadian military vehicle sustained minor damage, and there were no Canadian casualties, he said.
Meanwhile, a mortar attack in NATO's largest base in southern Afghanistan on Friday left three soldiers wounded, said Lt. Col. Angela Billings, a spokeswoman for NATO. The attack occurred in Kandahar Air Field, a vast military base and airport on the outskirts of city of Kandahar, she said.
Billings did not identify the wounded soldiers, but said they suffered minor injuries.
