<p>A suicide bomber riding a motorcycle packed with explosives has rammed into a car carrying the deputy governor of Afghanistan&#8217;s southern Kandahar province, killing him and wounding three of his bodyguards, the Interior Ministry said.</p>
<p>The attacker struck as Abdul Latif Ashna was being driven to work in the provincial capital, said ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashery.</p>
<p>The US ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, condemned the killing and offered his condolences to the official&#8217;s family.</p>
<p>&#8220;The loss of a great deputy governor like this is a setback,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;What we have seen is that consistently, Afghan government leaders emerge and the people continue to rally in an effort to establish security in this province and build a strong government.&#8221;</p>
<p>He spoke at Kandahar airfield, where he was attending a naturalisation ceremony for US service members becoming citizens at the base.</p>
<p>Kandahar, located in the Taliban&#8217;s traditional southern stronghold, has been the scene of several recent attacks.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago a bicycle bomb targeting police vehicles near the city centre wounded at least 10 people &#8211; six civilians and four police.</p>
<p>Last month, a suicide car bombing in the city centre killed three people and wounded 26 others, most of them police.</p>
