KABUL — A former Afghan president who was chairing the country's High Peace Council was killed Tuesday, reportedly by a suicide attacker with a bomb in his turban.
Burhanuddin Rabbani and four of his bodyguards were killed, and a key presidential adviser, Masoom Stanekzail, was injured.
"Rabbani has been martyred," said Mohammed Zahir, head of Kabul's police investigators.
An unnamed Kabul police official said the attacker hid the explosives in his turban.
