KANDAHAR (AFP/Reuters) - A massive suicide car bomb ripped through a bustling area of Afghanistans troubled southern city of Kandahar, killing up to 36 people and wounding another 64 late Tuesday, officials said. So far we have 36 killed and 64 wounded and they are all civilians, said General Ghulam Ali Wahdad, police commander for southern Afghanistan. At this stage we cannot break down the casualties in terms of how many women, children and men. Police are still busy trying to find bodies from under the rubble, he added. The Interior Ministry in Kabul told AFP that dozens of people were killed and wounded when explosives ripped through a vehicle. A spokesman put the death toll at more than 10 and the number of wounded at more than 50. A local police official earlier put the death toll at 10 following what one police official called a suicide car bomb. The bomb went off in a usually congested street near a complex with a wedding hall, shops and hotel rooms. The force of the explosion heavily damaged buildings and trapped people under the rubble, officials said. Witnesses said they heard a huge explosion. A police officer at the site said the Spozmai wedding hall was on fire, adding: Two houses in the area have partially collapsed and people are busy looking for anyone stuck under the rubble. Meanwhile, four more US servicemen were killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on Tuesday, making 2009 the deadliest year for the growing contingent of foreign troops since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001. The deaths highlighted the steadily worsening violence in the country, which has been in political limbo since a disputed presidential election last week. The soldiers operating under Natos International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) were killed by an improvised bomb, the Talibans weapon of choice, in southern Afghanistan, the alliance force said. The latest casualties bring to 63 the number of foreign soldiers who have died in Afghanistan this month, and to 295 the death toll since January, making this year the deadliest for foreign troops since their 2001 arrival here. Four International Security Assistance Force service members were killed today as a result of an improvised explosive device (IED) detonation that occurred in southern Afghanistan, the force said in a statement.
