In Afghanistan, six security personnel were killed and 10 others injured today as Taliban gunmen detonated a bomb hidden in an ambulance at a police centre near the southern city of Kandahar. According to Kandahar governor's office, the insurgents have blown up an ambulance vehicle full of explosives which killed six members of the national security forces and wounded 10. The governor's office said three insurgents, who were thought to have been armed with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, were also killed. The attack took place at a complex just outside Kandahar which is used for police training as well as army and police recruitment. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault. The attack was the latest to target Afghanistan's Western-backed security forces just a few months before US-led NATO troops start limited withdrawals after nearly 10 years of war against the Taliban.
