Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Suspected insurgents placed a bomb in a cart and remotely detonated it while a police vehicle drove by in Afghanistan's Kandahar province Sunday morning.
The ensuing explosion killed two civilians and a police officer, the provincial governor's office said. Eleven others were wounded.
The bomb was placed in front of a mosque in the Panjwai district, the governor's office said.
Sardar Mohammad Zazai, the province's police chief, said insurgents are increasingly leaving bombs in crowded areas to exact a high civilian toll.
On Saturday, a bicycle bomb exploded in front of the Red Cross office in the southern Afghan province, killing a policeman and injuring 11 people, authorities said.
Militants placed the makeshift bomb on a bicycle and detonated it by remote control at noon, Zazai said.
