Deadly blasts rock Afghan city



At least 35 people have been killed after a series of explosions rocked the centre of the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, an interior ministry spokesman has said. Saturday's attacks also left 45 people, including policemen and civilians, injured. The Afghan capital, said: "We spoke to the spokesman of the governor to the city of Kandahar [and] it appears to be a co-ordinated attack. "One explosion happened near the police headquarters. The second one was heard near the provincial guest house in an area where also President [Hamid] Karzai's half brother [Ahmad Wali Karzai] lives. "Now he [Wali Karzai] is in Kabul; we did speak to him and he did not have much more information than that. "The third explosion was apparently heard  ... next to Kandahar prison."
