KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Feb 4 (Reuters) - An explosion rattled Afghanistan's southern city of Kandahar on Sunday but it was not immediately clear what caused it or if there were any casualties, residents said.

Foreign and Afghan troops have in the past been hit by a series of Taliban suicide attacks and roadside bombs in Kandahar, the bastion of the militants and nicknamed "bomb city" because of constant rebel attacks.
