An Afghan official says a roadside bomb has killed that two people, including a district administrative chief, in the country's south.

Dost Mohammad Nayab, spokesman for the provincial governor of Uruzgan province, said today that Mohammad Ismail Haqyar, district chief of Charcheno, along with his bodyguard were killed while they were on their way to their office.
