Kabul: A suicide bomber killed three people including a policeman and wounded five others after blowing himself up near a cricket stadium in the Afghan capital Kabul on Wednesday, police said.
The attacker detonated the bomb after he was stopped at a security checkpoint as he walked towards the stadium where a match was under way.
"The security forces by sacrificing themselves have prevented the attacker from reaching the crowd (inside the stadium) and creating a catastrophe," police spokesman Basir Mujahid told AFP.
Two of the wounded were police officers. Several ambulances were seen speeding away from the scene, apparently taking the injured to hospital.
