Kandahar, Afghanistan -- A bomb exploded in the centre of Kandahar on Saturday, causing an undetermined number of injuries, an official said.

... “There are casualties, but we don't know how many,” said Khan Mohammad, the city's military commander.

Mr. Mohammad said initial reports suggested the bomb was contained in a car, but a police officer at the scene said he believed it was carried on a bicycle.

BBC World reports "more than a dozen injured."

He immediately blamed the Taliban. "Without any doubt, Taliban or al-Qaida are behind this," Mohammad told The Associated Press.
