TALIBAN PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR KILLED IN SUICIDE ATTACK: OFFICIALS-  Afghan

Officials said the acting governor of an Afghan province was killed by a suicide bomber Tuesday, months after the region’s police chief was killed in a similar attack claimed by the Islamic State group.Security has improved dramatically since the Taliban stormed back to power in August 2021, ousting the US-backed government and ending their two-decade insurgency, but IS remains a threat.The bomber drove a car filled with explosives into the vehicle carrying Nisar Ahmadi — the deputy governor of northern Badakhshan before stepping up as acting governor last month — in the provincial capital Faizabad.The driver was also killed and six others wounded in the attack, which has so far not been claimed by anyone. The head of the province’s police force was killed in a suicide blast claimed by IS in December last year.IS has killed and wounded hundreds of people in attacks since the Taliban government returned to power, some targeting foreigners, in a bid to undermine the Taliban government. BBC/CK
