Deadly car bomb blast in Kandahar outside aid offices
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-15517034

Several people have been killed by a suicide car bomb explosion in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.

Officials said an explosive-laden vehicle was crashed into a checkpoint in a neighbourhood housing the United Nations refugee agency, the UNHCR, and the US-based International Relief and Development (IRD).

An Afghan policeman and three civilians were killed by the blast.

A call from the Taliban said their target was the UNHCR.
