One of the insurgents crashed his explosives-packed vehicle into the government building around 12.00 noon, the district chief told Pajhwok Afghan News.
Mohammad Hashim Agha said the second attacker entered the office complex and blew himself up inside the building where a meeting of the local council was in progress. The roof of the meeting hall collapsed, killing a tribal elder and injuring 15 others.
But the governor’s spokesman, Javed Faisal, said three tribal elders were killed and 15 other people, including three policemen, injured.
The injured were taken to the main district hospital, where some were in critical condition, a doctor said on condition of anonymity.
No one has so far claimed responsibility, but officials often such attacks on the Taliban insurgents.
