Earlier on Wednesday, one suicide car bombing hit a U.S. Marine convoy in Laghkar Gah, the city capital of southern province of Helmand, four Afghan civilians and injuring 15 others. It is not clear whether the victim was killed at the same attack since local officials said the bombing also inflected casualties to the foreign forces there 555 km southwest of Kabul.

Nearly 120 foreign soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since Jan. 1 this year.
