The acting Governor of a northeastern Afghan province has been killed in a car bombing, months after the region’s police chief was killed in a similar attack claimed by an affiliate of the ISIL (ISIS) group. The bomber rammed a car filled with explosives into the vehicle carrying Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi, the acting Governor of Badakhshan, in the provincial capital Faizabad.
