 An Afghan provincial governor said a blast at his office on Wednesday was an assassination attempt. A bomb planted in a police vehicle exploded inside the compound of the governor of the eastern province of Nangarhar. It caused no casualties but smashed office windows and damaged the car the governor had just arrived in. "It was an assassination attempt ... their plan was to kill me," the governor, Gul Agha Sherzai, told a news conference in the provincial capital, Jalalabad. He said those responsible were terrorists and three suspects had been arrested.
