阿富汗坎大哈发生致命汽车炸弹爆炸

A car bomb has exploded in Afghanistan\'s second-largest city, Kandahar, killing at least one person and wounding at least 14 others.

Local authorities say Monday\'s car bomb appeared to target Kandahar\'s police chief, Abdul Razaq, who was driving by in his car at the time of the attack. He escaped unhurt.

The attack comes after officials in southern Afghanistan said Taliban insurgents beheaded 17 Afghan civilians, including two women. Afghanistan\'s Interior Ministry says the civilians were killed late Sunday in the Kajaki district of Helmand province.  

There are conflicting reports about the reasons for the killings. Earlier, Afghan officials said the Taliban attacked a late-night party because insurgents disapprove of music and dancing.  But Helmand\'s governor said the killings followed a long-standing feud between two Taliban commanders over the two women.

坎大哈当局说，星期一汽车炸弹爆炸的袭击目标看来是坎大哈警察局长拉扎克，他当时正驾驶汽车经过现场，但没有受伤。

在发生这次炸弹袭击之前，阿富汗南部官员说，塔利班叛乱分子将17名阿富汗平民斩首，其中包括两名妇女。阿富汗内政部长说，这些平民是星期天晚间在赫尔曼德省的卡贾基地区遇害的。

关于这起杀戮事件的起因有着不同的说法。阿富汗官员早些时候说，塔利班叛乱分子不容□c唱歌跳舞，因此袭击了晚间举行的聚会。但赫尔曼德省省长说，两名塔利班指挥官为争夺两名妇女而长期不和，这可能是袭击杀害的原因。
