A suicide bomber has detonated his vest full of explosives, killing 10 civilians, including tribal elders in north-eastern Afghanistan.
Khalilullah Ziayi, the provincial police chief in Kunar province, says the bomber blew himself up just before noon on Wednesday at a meeting of local elders and officials in Asmar district. He says the target was Malik Zareen, an influential tribal elder and a former military commander.
Mr. Ziayi says Zareen was killed and at least seven other people were injured in the attack.
