Various of injured men in hospital beds STORYLINE: A suicide car bomb hit a Canadian military convoy in a southern Afghan city on Sunday, killing two civilians and a Canadian Foreign Affairs official and wounding 13 people, officials said. A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammed Yousaf, called The Associated Press and claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombing, warning that the attacks would continue for a long time. Yousaf said the Taliban had many more suicide attackers ready to go. There have been about 25 suicide bombings in the past four months in Afghanistan, a relatively new tactic for militants and one that has reinforced fears that Afghanistan may see more assaults modelled on those in Iraq. Sunday's attack occurred as the convoy was driving near the Canadian base in Kandahar city, a former Taliban stronghold, said Interior Ministry spokesman Dad Mohammed Rasa. Canada's deputy chief of defence, Lieutenant General Marc Dumais, said Glyn Berry, a senior Foreign Affairs diplomat and the political director of a reconstruction team in Afghanistan, was killed. He said three of the 13 wounded were Canadian soldiers and that two were in critical condition. Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin called the attack a tragic incident and expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. Nine Canadians have died in Afghanistan. Four soldiers were mistakenly bombed by a US fighter pilot in 2002 and four others have died in accidents. But the prime minister said Canada's mission in Afghanistan was vital. "Our participation in the mission in Kandahar is essential to establishing peace and security," Martin said. "It's in a nation that's struggling to find its way." Canada has about 650 troops in Afghanistan, nearly all in Kandahar, and Ottawa plans to increase the Canadian military presence in Kandahar to 2,000 next month.
