The acting governor of a northeastern Afghan province was killed in a car bombing, officials said. The bomber rammed a car filled with explosives into the vehicle carrying Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi, acting governor of northern Badakhshan, in the provincial capital Faizabad. The incident took place months after the region’s police chief was killed in a similar attack claimed by an affiliate of the ISIL (ISIS) group.
