A government official in eastern Afghanistan was killed in an IED attack Friday, officials said.
NATO's International Security Assistance said the district governor of Dur Baba in Nangarhar province was among the three people killed when their vehicle struck an improvised explosive device.
The official is Khorshad Khan Khogianiwal.
There were conflicting reports about the incident. The spokesman of the governor of Nangarhar province, Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, told CNN that the district governor and a guard were killed and three others were wounded in the 8 a.m. blast.
"This is tragic and demonstrates that the insurgents have no interest in a peaceful country," said U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF spokesman.
"Our thoughts and concerns are with the families of the victims during this difficult time. ISAF will work with our Afghan partners to find those responsible and bring them to justice."
some Pakis are really Jealous with Afghanistan.
Should not kill in 360 lands. Just cut noses, ears and what ever the parts more important to run away from dogs when they abuse
U.S should just attack on Pakistan or put pressure on them as much as U.S can to remove Taliban/Terrorists from Pakistan.
Pakistan is the main country exporting Taliban/terrorists world wide.
until Pakistan is there, no country on earth will live peacefully !
THINK ABOUT IT AND DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH PAKISTAN !!!
Why would You attack a Country that is fighting on Your side???
Then We have to start killing more of Them so that it will be to costly to keep killing Our People and Friends!!!
Damn Catholics, right Idea, just didn't finish the job. Let's send the Catholics back in, either way win or lose we'll have one less religeon to worry about.
Of course if the Catholics lose,.......well there might be a lot of Therapists out of work.
It doesn't help that all of the people NATO works with keep getting killed.
This is terrible! It makes me want to cry myself to sleep.How are we going to get these people to collaborate with NATO with the Taliban knocking them off???
