AFGHANISTAN: Remote-controlled bomb kills Afghan police in Kandahar province

A policeman is killed and three are wounded when a remote-controlled bomb hits their vehicle in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar. A remote-controlled bomb hit a police vehicle in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar on Tuesday (May 22) killing an officer and wounding three others during a routine patrol, witnesses and officials said. In a separate incident, a remote-controlled device killed two Afghan soldiers and wounded another in Khost province. The attacks follow the death of the insurgents' top operational commander, Mullah Dadullah, in a U.S.-led coalition raid earlier this month. His death was considered the biggest blow to the Taliban since they were driven from power in 2001. Afghanistan has seen a surge of violence in recent months by suspected Taliban following the traditional winter lull.
