Police seek Afghan suicide bomber's accomplices

Police set up road blocks today around the southern Afghan city of Kandahar searching for accomplices of a suspected al-Qaida suicide bomber who killed 20 people in one of the worst terror attacks in Afghanistan since the ousting of the Taliban in 2001, officials said.

The attacker detonated explosives strapped to his body during the funeral yesterday in the city of a moderate Muslim cleric who had spoken out against Taliban-led insurgents. Among the dead was the Kabul police chief and six of his bodyguards. Some 42 people were wounded.
