Twin suicide blasts rock Afghan police building

Two Taliban suicide bombers blew themselves up at Kandahar police headquarters in southern Afghanistan Sunday, leaving at least two people dead and dozens wounded, officials said. The blasts were a minute apart and could be heard across the city, a one-time stronghold of the extremist movement which immediately claimed responsibility. "I've lost two police and eight other of my policemen have been wounded," General Abdul Raziq, police chief for the southern border with Pakistan, told a foreign news agency.
