A SUICIDE car bomb at a police checkpoint in Afghanistan's southern city of Kandahar has killed at least five people, officials say.

Javed Faisal, who is spokesman for the provincial governor, says police stopped a suicide car bomber at the checkpoint near a branch of New Kabul Bank on Saturday morning. The bomber then detonated his explosives.

Dr Mohammad Wali of Kandahar Hospital said at least five were killed and 25 wounded and ambulances were still bringing more victims in.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but suspicion will likely fall on Taliban militants.

The Taliban are especially strong in southern Afghanistan, which is dominated by the ethnic Pashtun community whose members form the bulk of the insurgency in the country.
