A suicide bomb attack on a road construction company in eastern Afghanistan killed 13 people and wounded 50 more, a spokesman for the provincial governor said Monday.
The attacker rammed a truck laden with explosives into an office building in the restive province of Paktika, which lies on the border with Pakistan, Mokhles Afghan told AFP, adding that all the casualties worked for company.
Afghan said that engineers, construction workers and security guards were among those killed in the blast in Paktika's Barmal district, which shares a long, porous border with Pakistani areas troubled by Taliban militancy. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
