It was not clarified whether the explosives were placed in a car parked on the route followed by the lawmaker’s vehicle or if it was driven by a suicide bomber, Andarabi added. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing.
Afghanistan has seen a sharp rise in violence, particularly in bombings, in recent weeks as the Afghan government and the Taliban hold talks aimed at ending the country’s nearly 20-year-old conflict.
