KABUL — A former militia commander who supported the Afghan government and two others were killed Saturday night by a suicide bomber who blew himself up at a football game in northern Afghanistan, officials said.
Ministry of Interior spokesman Zemeri Bashary said 19 other people, including children, were injured in the attack shortly before 7 p.m. in Kunduz, the capital of Kunduz province.
Deputy provincial police chief Abdul Rahman Haqtash said the target was a former local warlord and militia commander known by one name, Selab. He fought against the Soviet Union occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s and during the civil war that followed.
