KABUL : A bomb blast in a crowded market in southern Afghanistan killed 13 people and wounded dozens more on Wednesday in an area at the forefront of the US-led war against the Taliban.

Afghan officials said the attack took place in a village near Lashkar Gah, capital of Helmand province, as farmers were receiving seeds being handed out to persuade Afghans to abandon the poppy crops that produce heroin.
