Wali, according to the official, was a supporter of the government against armed militants in the area.

Two other civilians sustained injuries in the bombing, he added.

The official also blamed the attack on the enemies of peace, a reference to the Taliban militants, but the armed group has yet to claim responsibility. Enditem
