Kabul - A suicide bomber in police uniform blew himself up inside police headquarters in northern Afghanistan, killing one US soldier and wounding seven other people including police officers, police said Monday.
"One American soldier was killed and two others were wounded in the blast this morning," Jaweed Basharat, spokesman for provincial police chief told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
He said four Afghan police officers and one child were also wounded in the Monday's blast.
The bomber, who was in police uniform, tried to enter the police chief's office in Puli Khumri, the capital of northern Baghlan province, and detonated himself when he was stopped by the guards.
