Bomb kills 5

A ROADSIDE bomb detonated by remote control killed five people yesterday in southern Afghanistan, including a former Afghan senator and tribal leader who worked to foster peace and development.

The ex-lawmaker, Khairo Jan, was riding in a vehicle with three Afghan policemen, who served as his bodyguards, and another tribal leader from the area when the bomb exploded on the road as they passed, said Fareed Ayal, a spokesman for the Uruzgan province police chief. Jan is an elder of the Popalzai tribe, the same tribe that Afghan President Hamid Karzai is from.
