KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar votes in parliamentary elections on Saturday, a week after 32 of the country's 34 provinces went to the polls, a delay caused by the assassination of its police chief by Taliban insurgents.

During two days of voting last weekend, insurgents launched some 250 attacks across the country, killing at least 50 people and wounding more than 100, the interior ministry said.
