Karzai's brother killed by bodyguard
Afghan president Hamid Karzai's brother, a provincial governor, has been shot dead, according to his spokesman.

Ahmad Wali Karzai was head of Kandahar's provincial council and was one of the most powerful men in southern Afghanistan.

"We can confirm he has been martyred," provincial government spokesman Zalmay Ayubi said. "I confirm that Ahmad Wali was killed inside his house."

A family friend, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Wali Karzai had been killed by a bodyguard while entertaining guests at home.
