KABUL, AFGHANISTAN (BNO NEWS) – At least four Afghan police officers were killed and three others were wounded after a roadside bomb blasted their vehicle in the western region of Afghanistan, local media reported on Tuesday.

Provincial spokesman Naqib Arwen confirmed the death of the policemen, including that of Obe district police chief Seyyed Serjaeddin, who were all conducting their routine patrolling on Herat-Obe road in Heart province.

The wife and son of the police chief were also in the vehicle during the attack. They were wounded during the shootout that occurred following the explosion.

"We are investigating, but our initial reports show that it was a remote-controlled bomb," Serjaeddin said.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the bombing, but local officials are initially blaming the Taliban for conducting the attack.
