Kabul (BNA) Afghan authorities say a remote-controlled bomb has killed a former Afghan senator and three other people in the south of the country.
Fareed Ayal, who is the spokesman for the provincial police chief, says former senator Khairo Jan, a tribal elder named Sharafuddin and two bodyguards were killed as they were driving in Uruzgan province.
Jan is an elder of the Popalzai tribe. Ayal says the blast occurred about 1:30 pm local time Saturday about six kilometers south of the provincial capital of Tirin Kot.
They were riding in a vehicle that was en route to Jan’s village in an area known as Dayak.
