Kabul, April 23 (RHC)-- Three people, including a senior security official, were killed as two bomb blasts rocked Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province, officials say.

A senior provincial intelligence official, named Ghulam Haidar Haidari, was killed after his vehicle ran over a roadside bomb planted in Behsud district, said Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, a spokesperson for the provincial government, on Wednesday.

Another blast targeted the vehicle of a logistic official of the Afghan Local Police (ALP), identified as Khan Wali, killing him on the spot and injuring two others, Abdulzai said.

Local police, composed of villagers, are part of the Afghan National Police, and is formed as a local defense force against anti-government militants in the areas where the presence of regular security forces is thin.
