At least five Afghan border policemen were killed in a roadside bomb blast in southern Afghanistan on Sunday

Gen Abdul Raziq, a border security commander, told the Associated Press that the bombing occurred before dawn on a heavily used road in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar province, the birthplace of Taliban.

The district is in a volatile area, which has been patrolled mostly by border security police.

No groups, including the Taliban, have made an immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

Roadside bombing is a frequently used tool for the Taliban militant to target Afghan and international forces across the country.
