Suicide attack outside police base in Afghanistan
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Reuters) - A suicide car-bomb went off just after a convoy of NATO troops passed a police base in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Wednesday, wounding a passer-by, witnesses and officials said.

There were no casualties among the NATO troops or Afghan police at the base, they said. The bomber was killed.

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammad Yousuf, said by telephone the bomber was a Taliban member.

The Taliban's intensified campaign against the government and foreign troops supporting it this year has spawned the worst violence since the hard-line Islamists were ousted after the September 11 attacks in 2001.

We need that guy from 'Seinfeld', the Soup Nazi:

"No Paradise for you!"
