A car bomb exploded outside a bank in a major southern Afghan city Saturday, killing four people, officials said.
The bomb went off as soldiers and police officers were lined up to collect their salaries at the bank in Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand province, said Daoud Ahmadi, a provincial government spokesman. All of those killed were civilians, he said.
More than 20 people were wounded in the blast, including 10 soldiers and six police officers, Ahmadi said. (AP)
