At least 20 people have died in a suspected suicide bomb attack at a mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, the worst attack this year.
Kabul police chief Mohammed Akram was among those killed, officials say.
He was among many who were at the mosque to mourn a senior anti-Taleban cleric, who was shot dead on Sunday.
Mawlavi Abdullah Fayaz was killed by two men on a motorcycle as he left his office. Last week he made a speech attacking Taleban leader Mullah Omar.
No group has yet said it carried out the attack.
Eyewitnesses say the Abdul Rab mosque in the heart of Kandahar was filled with mourners at the time of the attack, which took place at 0900 (0430 GMT).
"I heard a loud explosion," Mohammad, who owns a money-changing shop in the vicinity of the mosque, told the BBC News website.

We just received a TMX Elmo which we paid over 100% of the retail value for to see what is up with the craze? Well he really IS A BLAST! First his box has a flap which when opened gives you Elmo giggling and telling you he is in the box. Then when you take him out the first thing you will notice is how SOFT he is! and may be surprized he is only about 15 inches tall, but once you press his foot and see him giggle, animate himself, roll over, roll to his side and then stand himself up all while giggling he WILL impress you AND you WILL not help but smile and laugh with him!
He is going with our ADULT toys collection and is a Super ITEM! we only wish they produced enough of him so that he would NOT be put at such a high price off of the retail market (he is only [...] if you are lucky enough to have gotten one)and as a licensed and bonded Toy dealer we will NOT join in on the overpricing of this little fellow. We hope the manufacturers can get more out for all to ENJOY!
