KABUL, Afghanistan, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Four police officers and three civilians reportedly died in a suicide bomb attack Monday in Afghanistan.

Interior Ministry spokesman Zmarai Bashary was quoted by CNN as saying the incident, in which six more were wounded, occurred in the Nad Ali district of the poppy-producing Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan. The region has become the focus in the ongoing battle between NATO forces and Taliban rebels.

The report said the bomber set off the explosive in front of the entrance to the district's chief police officer.

“The Interior Ministry of Afghanistan condemns this act of our enemies, who are working against the stability and security of Afghanistan," said Bashary.
