At least five people have died and some 16 others hurt in a suicide attack in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.

The attacker, who was on a motorcycle, detonated explosives strapped to his body at a checkpoint in the city's Chawnay area, the BBC was told.

Police had set up checkpoints across Kandahar amid intelligence reports of a possible attack by insurgents, the BBC's Bilal Sarwary reports from Kabul.

The attack shatters Kandahar's relative peace of the past few months.

"The attacker was on a motorbike in a crowded bazaar in Kandahar city near the border police mobile checkpoint," Kandahar police chief Abdul Razip told the AFP news agency.

"When police stopped him he detonated his explosives, killing five, including four children and one police," he said.

Observers say the attack highlights the fragile security situation in Kandahar, which is the birthplace of Afghan president Hamid Karzai.

USA seem to be on top of things in Afghanistan - i now see why they are ready to move out!
R.I.P. to the victims.

What a mess.....we know how the US was on top in Somalia and in Iraq and now in Afghanistan....but what objective do these culprits achieve by killing innocent civilians, except more hatred from general public.

To take the lives of innocent people is clearly the lowest of the low - they pretend to use the voice of religion. These are extremist animals that need to be removed from society. I must say after 10 years and spending billions you would expect the USA to be on top of things - sadly only in their dreams!

Depends on what their objectives are.. At the end of the day, they used China's (and other creditors') money to kill people in Afghanistan and Pakistan with negligible loss of their own troops.. Guess who the biggest and second biggest losers are in the game of last 10 years..
