KABUL – An Afghan official says a suicide bomber disguised as a beggar haskilled six people in a wealthy subdivision of the southern city of Kandahar.

Reportedly Aslam Achu who was responsible for the Chinese consulate attackin Karachi was killed in suicide attack.

Mohammad Yousof Younosi, a provincial council member, says the attack onTuesday happened a block away from his home and appeared to have targeted agroup of Pakistanis from that country’s Baluchistan region.

No one immediately claimed the attack. Several militant and separatistgroups operate in Baluchistan.

Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of sheltering Baluch separatists,including those behind a deadly attack on the Chinese Consulate in Karachiearlier this month. Afghanistan in turn accuses Pakistan of sheltering theTaliban and other Islamic extremists.
