He however blamed the Taliban militant group for the attack in the mountainous province.

The Taliban militants, which ruled the country before they were ousted in late 2001, renewed armed insurgency, staging ambushes and suicide attacks, killing combatants as well as civilians.

On Monday, a policewoman was shot dead by gunmen in the country’s southern province of Kandahar.
