Afghan acting governor wounded in explosion: police
The acting governor of an Afghan province plagued by Taliban violence has been wounded in an explosion in his compound, a senior police official said Thursday.
A total of four people, including acting governor of Khost province Tahir Khan Sabari, were injured in the explosion, said the provincial criminal investigation chief Gul Dad Mandozai.
The explosion took place on Thursday as the governor met officials in the meeting hall of his compound, said Gul. He was unable to say what caused the explosion, or expand on the extent of Sabari's injuries.
Khost is on Afghanistan's southeastern border with Pakistan and sees a high rate of Taliban activity that has escalated in recent months as the militants expand their footprint across the county.
