阿富汗自杀袭击25人丧生

Authorities say a suicide bombing killed 25 people in eastern Afghanistan Tuesday, in one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in recent weeks.

The attacker struck a funeral for a tribal elder in the remote Dur Baba district of Nangarhar Province.

Officials say the district governor, Hamisha Gul, was the probable target.  He was among the more than 50 people wounded in the blast.  Police say the governor's son was killed.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Taliban is known to target Afghan government officials.
