At least 12 people have been killed and five wounded in a suicide attack at a police station in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan, officials say.
Most of the victims are thought to be police officers who were having lunch at the time the attacker struck.
The station is used by police guarding the road to neighbouring Kandahar.
Officials say it is still not clear how the attacker managed to gain entry to the dining hall. One report says he was wearing an Afghan police uniform.
Among the dead was Obaed Ullah, the chief of rapid action police in Uruzgan, officials told the BBC.
Afghan police have consistently been targeted by the Taliban. and this attack comes shortly after Nato handed over security responsibility over to local Afghan forces.
