Bomb explodes near U.S. Afghan base, police wounded

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, April 14 (Reuters) - A bomb exploded in front of a U.S. military base in Afghanistan's turbulent southern Kandahar province on Wednesday, wounding a senior Afghan police official and two of his bodyguards, witnesses said.

The explosion ripped through a car carrying General Salim Khan on a road in front of a base of the Provincial Reconstruction Team of the U.S. military in Kandahar city, they said.

The bomb appeared to have been planted on a speed bump and detonated by remote control, witnesses said.
