FIROZ KOAH, Afghanistan, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- An Afghan official lost his live following a bomb attack in Firoz Koah, capital of western Ghor province on Tuesday, the fourth person to lose live in targeted killings within day, a provincial source confirmed.

"Abdul Rahman Hatshan, deputy to Ghor provincial council, was martyred, and his colleague and member of the council, Abdul Rahimd Rizazada, and his son were wounded when a bomb attached to the vehicle they were driving exploded at mid-day on Tuesday," Fazilhaq Eahsan, chairman of provincial council, told Xinhua.

The vehicle was damaged by the force of the blast which occurred near the council's office in Firoz Koah, he said.

Earlier on Tuesday, a deputy to provincial governor, his office assistant and a police officer were killed in a bomb explosion and a militants' ambush in the country's national capital, Kabul.

Civilians considered to be supporting the government, civilian government employees, religious leaders, tribal elders and persons involved in peace and reconciliation efforts have come under attack in targeted killings over the past years.

About 44 people lost their lives and many others were wounded in targeted attacks across Afghanistan in November, according to official figures. Enditem
