The U.S.-led military coalition in Afghanistan says a car bomb has seriously wounded two coalition soldiers in the southern city of Kandahar.
A coalition spokeswoman says a bomb was detonated by remote control inside a vehicle near a coalition patrol Monday. She says the wounded soldiers were taken to a medical facility for treatment.
At least eight people, including two Canadian soldiers, were killed in a double suicide bombing in the same area Saturday. A purported Taleban spokesman (Yousuf Ahmadi) claimed responsibility for those attacks.
Meanwhile, police said Monday a man traveling in a taxi detonated a grenade at a border checkpoint in Khost province Sunday, killing himself and another person. Three others were wounded.
The man set off the grenades after police stopped the taxi.
