Bomb blast kills four in Spin Boldak

KANDAHAR: Four civilians were killed and 10 injured Wednesday when a remotely controlled motorbike bomb exploded in Spin Boldak, police said.

"There was a motorbike bomb blast against border police in Spin Boldak. Four civilians, one of them a woman, were killed and 10 others were injured," said Janan, a rapid-reaction police unit commander who uses only one name.

The interior ministry confirmed the deaths and blamed the blast on the "enemies of Afghanistan" -- a reference to the Taliban.
