NATO and Afghan troops were deployed to seal off the attack sites. Kandahar has been the scene of several recent deadly attacks on police. In one attack, a motorised rickshaw carrying explosives detonated behind police headquarters in the centre of the city, according to a spokesman for the governor of Kandahar province. One bystander was killed and three others wounded, the spokesman said. On the eastern side of the city, insurgents attacked an oil tanker with gunfire, causing it to explode. One civilian was killed and at least two others were wounded. A rocket fired by militants slammed into a prison compound in the city's west, police said, while another explosion went off in the city's business district, also in the west. Kandahar city has been a target for militants this month. Two explosions killed nine people and wounded two dozen others on October 6, while three blasts just minutes apart killed three Afghan police officers in the city on October 5. International and Afghan troops have been ramping up security in Kandahar for months in an effort to take control of the country's largest southern city where Taliban influence is strong.
