A suicide attack in Afghanistan’s northern province of Kunduz has killed a district governor, his bodyguards and civilians at a mosque, government officials said.

The group, which included governor of the Archi district Sheikh Sadi, were attending a ceremony for a tribal elder who had died the day before, the officials said.

“Officials… were attending a prayer in a mosque when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives,” said Enayatullah Khaliq, a spokesman for the provincial governor.
