Three Taliban militants have been killed in attack on police in Spin Boldak District of southern Kandahar province.

He added that other militants started a gun battle with security forces following the suicide bombing which lasted for about 30 minutes.
Officials had not released details of possible casualties to security forces by the time this report was filed.
Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack.
Kandahar is comparatively a restive province where armed militants are operating in its far flung areas but they often hit targets in the provincial capital as well. The province has seen some deadly Taliban attacks in the past.http://www.khaama.com/suicide-bombing-rocks-spin-boldak-district-of-kandahar-4515
