Kandahar blasts kill four policemen


Four policemen have been killed in three explosions which took place minutes apart in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, officials said.
The blasts took place on Monday evening near a convoy of troops travelling out of the city. Ten people were injured.
Meanwhile, four Nato service members died in attacks around the country. Their nationalities were not released.
Afghan and Nato-led forces are in a major operation in Kandahar province to drive out militants.
The Afghan war is now in its bloodiest year since the 2001 US-led invasion that ousted the Taliban from power.
