Afghan suicide attack kills sevenA suicide bomb attack, targeting an Afghan provincial governor, has killed his son and six of his bodyguards
The governor of the south-western Nimroz province, Ghulam Dastageer, was on his way to his office when he was attacked. He escaped unhurt.
At least 14 people were injured in the attack, including several civilians.
Violence, often blamed on Taleban militants, has been rising in Afghanistan recently although Nimroz has been relatively peaceful.
Officials said the attacker detonated the explosives strapped to his body just as people were coming to work.
Governor Dastageer had moved inside the building shortly before the blast.
According to AFP News Agency, Governor Dastageer said that just as I got into my office today [Monday], there was a suicide attack outside the compound. Apparently I was the target of the suicide attacker.
Provincial police chief Mohammad Daud Askaryar said four of the wounded were civilians.
He added that the attack was aimed at creating an atmosphere of fear in our province.
