A Taliban suicide bomber killed five civilians and wounded 25 others in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, an official said. 

"A suicide bomber detonated an explosive-filled car in a parking lot near the main police headquarters in Lashkar Gah," Omar Zhwak, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand province, told AFP.

Women and children were among the casualties, he said, in the attack that was claimed by the Taliban.
