Afghan authorities say at least 22 people were killed when two suicide attackers blew themselves up in a market area in the southern province of Kandahar.
At least 50 people were injured in the coordinated June 6 attacks, which occurred in a crowded market in a parking lot close to the NATO-run Kandahar Air Base.
The parking lot is used by truckers who deliver supplies to the base, a massive military installation used by the international coalition.
Javid Faisal, a local government spokesman, said one attacker detonated his motorbike, which was packed with explosives.
Then, as crowds rushed to assist the casualties, a second suicide bomber walked up to the area and blew himself up, the spokesman said.
Faisal said all of those killed were civilians.
A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said that group was responsible for the attack.
