SPIN BOLDAK (AFP) -- A Taleban suicide car bomb aimed at Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan killed 37 civilians Monday, a day after another suicide blast left 100 dead in the country's deadliest such attack.

NATO's International Security Assistance Force said three of its soldiers were also wounded in the powerful suicide blast Monday in a car parts market about 50 meters (160 feet) from the Pakistan border in the town of Spin Boldak.
It would not comment on the nationality of the troops but Kandahar province governor Asadullah Khalid told reporters they were Canadians.
The Canadian military confirmed it had a convoy in the area but would not say if it had been involved in any incident.
The interior ministry said the attack killed 37 civilians and wounded 30 more.
The blast caused a fire and destroyed a vegetable market, leaving a 30-metre-wide hole in the ground, an AFP reporter at the scene said. More than 100 shops were destroyed or damaged, he added.
About 20 burned bodies were collected in one clinic, many lying on the floor, he said. Witnesses said many of the victims were shopkeepers.
“My cousins were killed. I can't find their bodies,” said one trader, 25-year-old Abdul Majeed.
A spokesman for the extremist Taleban movement said his group had carried out the blast, which is similar to scores carried out by extremists who were in government between 1996 and 2001.
