KABUL, June 16 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber attacked a reconstruction team's convoy in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif on Saturday, killing one person and wounding seven others, local security and health officials said.

It was the fourth suicide bombing in Afghanistan in two days and came hours after a similar attack on a military-civilian convoy on the outskirts of Kabul. At least three civilians were killed in the bombing in the capital.
