KABUL, Afghanistan (AA) - A massive suicide car bombing followed by gunfight at the police headquarters on Thursday rocked Afghanistan's southern Kandahar province.

According to multiple sources at the police headquarters, the attack began at around 4.30 p.m. local time (1200 GMT).

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the assault.

Known as the birthplace of the Taliban movement, Kandahar province witnessed relative peace for years under the fierce police chief late Gen. Abdul Raziq, who got killed in a Taliban-claimed attack in October last year.

This is a developing story.
