KABUL, June 30 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber attacked a border checkpoint at a crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan on Tuesday, a senior border policeman said, and there were at least several people wounded.

The bomber attacked the crossing for women in the east Afghan town of Torkham, border policeman Mohammad Zaman Mamozai told Reuters by telephone from the Afghan-Pakistan border. The checkpoint was ablaze, Mamozai said.
