Deputy Governor of Afghanistan’s Kabul, Mohibullah Mohammadi, and his assistant have been killed in a blast in Afghanistan on Tuesday, police say, adding that a sticky bomb was attached to his car by unknown assailants.
“Mohibullah Mohammadi, deputy Governor of Kabul, and his secretary were killed in a blast from an IED placed on their vehicle in Macroryan 4 in Kabul’s PD9 today, #Kabul police confirmed,” tweeted TOLO News.
“Two of his bodyguards were wounded in the blast,” the police further said.
No militant group has claimed the responsibility for the blast in which two of Mohebi’s guards were also injured.
Violence has raged across the country since the Taliban and Afghan government launched peace talks in Qatar in September.
On Tuesday morning, a police officer too was killed and two police were wounded in a terrorist ambush in Kabul.
Afghan President, Ashraf Ghani and some other senior officials have called for talks to be moved to Afghanistan from Doha.
