HERAT, Sep 15 (AFP): A bombing Monday killed three bodyguards of a district chief, including his son, in an area of Afghanistan at the centre of claims that US air strikes killed dozens of civilians last month, the official said.
Lal Mohammad Omarzai told AFP the bomb was apparently hidden in a three-wheel motorcycle near the Shindand district centre and remotely detonated as his two-vehicle convoy passed.
"Three of my bodyguards, one of them my son, were martyred and five others were wounded," said Omarzai, who was not hurt in the attack.
