KANDAHAR, June 13: A suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into a US military vehicle in southern Afghanistan on Monday, killing himself and wounding four American soldiers, one seriously, the US military said. The military denied Afghan police and army reports that at least five Americans had been killed in the attack in Mirwais Mina, about 10kms from Kandahar.
