TRINKOT, AFGHANISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- A former Afghan member of parliament was among four people who were killed Saturday in a roadside bomb attack in the country's central region, local media reported on Sunday.

The incident occurred on Saturday at around 12:30 p.m. local time in the Deh Yak village on the outskirts of Tirinkot, the provincial capital of Afganistan's province of Uruzgan, when former senator Haji Khairo Jan was on his way back home.

Uruzgan police chief Farid Ayel told Pajhwok Afghan News that Jan and tribal elder Haji Sharafuddin were immediately killed at the scene of the explosion, while two security guards accompanying the men later also died of their injuries. The bodies were transported to the Uruzgan Civil Hospital.

No group or organization has claimed responsibility for the attack.
