Taliban gunmen launch suicide attack near Kandahar

Taliban gunmen launch suicide attack near Kandahar: 

The attack came at dawn in the district of Arghandab, some 25 kilometres (15 miles) west of Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, a relatively quiet area unused to such attacks, which appear to be a sign of the Taliban's alarming new push into urban areas.
Six people -- five assailants and one Afghan army soldier -- were killed in the attack, police told AFP.
