[Iran Press TV] A series of bomb kabooms have left at least 13 people, including a child, dead in Afghanistan's southern city of Kandahar, Afghan officials say.Two blasts occurred at a central intersection in Kandahar on Tuesday evening.
The blasts killed five civilians, among them a child, and three coppers, said provincial front man Faisal Ahmad. More than 10 other people were maimed in the two bombings.
Another kaboom in Kandahar on Tuesday morning claimed the lives of four civilians and one policeman.
The killing of Afghan civilians by blasts and US-led foreign forces has prompted anti-US demonstrations in the country. The US invaded Afghanistan in 2001 under the pretext of combating terrorism and toppling the Taliban regime.
However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of thousands of US-led foreign forces in the country.
Washington has turned to negotiations with Talibs after ten years of the waging war on Afghanistan.
