The governor of Afghanistan's southern Logar province and three of his bodyguards have been killed as the car in which they were traveling was blown up by a roadside bomb near the capital Kabul, reports quoting the interior ministry said.
Afghan police blamed the bombing on the "enemies of Afghanistan," a term often used by them to describe Taliban militants.
Abullah Wardak, who is also a former minister, was nearing his home at Logar Saturday morning, when the bomb was remotely detonated. Logar is situated about 40 kilometers south of Kabul city.
