Suicide blast hits NATO convoy in Afghan south
Source: Reuters

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, May 25 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber struck a NATO convoy near an alliance base in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Sunday, killing one local civilian, witnesses and a police officer said.

Three NATO soldiers were wounded in the blast, a spokesman for the force said.

NATO soldiers cordoned off the site of the attack which happened near the house of the ousted Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar. It was being used as a base for the alliance.

Violence has surged in Afghanistan since 2006, the bloodiest period since the Taliban's removal from power in 2001. More than 12,000 people have been killed during this period.

Minutes after the attack, explosives attached to a bicycle went off in another part of the city, but caused no casualties
