A deputy governor of Kabul province and his aide were killed Tuesday by a bomb in the Afghan capital, officials said, the latest in a wave of targeted killings in the country.
Mahbobullah Mohebi died when a bomb attached to his vehicle detonated while he was on his way to his office, the interior ministry said.
Mohebi’s secretary, who was traveling with him, was also killed, and two bodyguards were wounded.
Hours later, in the central province of Ghor, a similar bomb killed Abdul Rahman Akshan, the -deputy chief of the provincial council.
Akshan was killed and his two bodyguards were wounded when a “sticky bomb” attached to his vehicle detonated in the city of Feroz Koh, a local official said.
