Helmand is the center of world's opium and heroin production
and focus of intense clashes between militants and British, American
and Afghan government forces.
The mosque blast happened hours after another suicide bomber
in a car targeted an Afghan army bus in Kabul, killing one civilian
and wounding four other people, officials said.
