2007-10-25
KHOST, Afghanistan - The governor of AfghanistanÂ’s southeastern province of Khost survived a suicide attack on his convoy on Wednesday, officials said. Three people, including a bodyguard of governor Arsala Jamal, were wounded in the raid which happened on a road in a district of the province close to the border with Pakistan.

Minutes after the attack, Jamal said he had escaped unhurt. “I was in another car of mine. The car bomber hit a vehicle ahead of me. I am fine,” he told Reuters.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility
