"This morning, governor Arsala Jamal was delivering a speech after Eid prayers when he was killed by a bomb planted in the microphone," Logar provincial governor spokesperson Din Mohammad Darwish told AFP.
"The governor wanted to speak and congratulate everyone on the occasion of Eid. At least 18 other people have been wounded, including civilians and government employees."
Jamal was appointed by President Hamid Karzai, like all 34 provincial governors, and he was seen as a close ally of the president, who will leave office next year."
