Awwal 06, 1432, April 10, 2011, SPA -- An Afghan government official says a roadside bomb in western Afghanistan has killed three tribal elders who were on their way to a meeting with other tribal representatives. Farah province's deputy provincial governor says Sunday morning's bomb ripped through the station wagon the men were driving through Balak Buluk district. All three were immediately killed, according to a report of the Associated Press. The official, Yonus Rasouli, says many in the area knew of the planned meeting and that the elders were probably directly targeted.
