KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- At least one police officer was killed and two others were injured Sunday in a bomb blast in south Afghanistan's Kandahar province, a provincial police spokesman said.

The blast, targeting a police patrol, occurred in the Spin Boldak district in the morning rush hour, killing a police constable on the spot and injuring two others, Jamal Barikzai said.

Barikzai blamed the enemies of peace, a reference to the Taliban, for organizing the bomb blast.

The armed outfit which is largely relying on suicide and roadside bombings has yet to make comments.
