Kabul, September 27: An explosion outside a school on Sunday in Afghanistan’s western city of Herat killed three people and wounded 16, residents and a doctor said, but its cause was not immediately clear.
A private television station said the blast was caused by a suicide bomber as a cabinet minister was passing on a road leading to the city’s airport.
The network said Ismail Khan, minister for power and water, survived the attack. No government official was available for comment.
