Four people including a local police chief have been killed by a roadside bomb blast in southern Afghanistan, officials said Sunday. Wazir Mohammed, police chief of Char Chino district of Uruzgan province, was killed with his father, his brother and his bodyguard as he was driving from his home to his office on Saturday, interior ministry spokesman Lutfullah Mashal told AFP "It is the work of enemies of peace and stability," Mashal said of the remote-control bombing on Saturday afternoon.
Provincial governor Jon Mohammad blamed remnants of the country's ousted Islamic fundamentalist Taleban regime.
"It is the work of the Taleban. They had planted the bomb for the police chief," Mohammad said.
