MAIMANA (PAN): The Shirin Tagab district legal officer was killed during an explosion and a driver shot dead in northern Faryab province, officials said on Monday.
The blast took place at 9am when the regal officer, Safar Mohammad, came out of his house. He died on the way to hospital, the Shirin Tagab district chief said.
Syed Loqman Gahrik, speaking to Pajhwok Afghan News, accused the Taliban of conducting the remote-controlled bomb attack. However, no one has so far claimed responsibility.
