Unknown gunmen kill 4 Afghan civilians
Unidentified gunmen on Friday opened fire and killed four civilians in Khost province, 160 km southeast of Afghan capital Kabul, provincial governor Abdul Jabbar Naeemi said Saturday.
"All the four victims were innocent civilians and tribal elders who were going to Lakan area 10 km outside provincial capital the Khost city on Friday afternoon when unidentified armed men opened fire on their car killing them on the spot," Naeemi told newsmen.
One more man sustained injuries in the firing, he further said.
He also blamed the enemies of peace, a term used by Afghan officials against Taliban militants. However, the outfit fighting Afghan government has yet to make comment.
