CNN reports:

"One remote control bomb on the road was detonated while a police convoy was passing on the road. And the second bomb was set in motorbike, on the same road, and that detonated after the first one," said Zalmai Ayoobi, a spokesman for the Kandahar government.

Mr Sherzad said he believed he was the target of the attack, in which two civilians died, although he was not in the convoy at the time.

A third blast took place about two hours later but no one was injured.

Kandahar, which is seen as the key battleground in US-led efforts to reverse an insurgency that has lasted nearly nine years, has been the scene of escalating Taliban violence including similar bombings, assassinations and suicide attacks in recent months.

The UN has ordered its staff in Kandahar to stay indoors due to the rapidly deteriorating security situation in the volatile city.
