KABUL, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Two roadside bombs rocked Sabari district of Khost province in east Afghanistan, leaving one police officer dead and three others injured over the past two days, a local official said Monday.

A foreign soldier was among the injured people when a roadside bomb struck his vehicle on Monday morning, Daulat Khan Qayumzai, governor of Sabari district, said.

However, the governor did not identify the nationality of the soldier while the U.S. soldiers are usually stationed in Khost province.

Qayumzai added that a similar incident happened Sunday evening, leaving one police officer dead and two others injured.

Taliban-linked roadside bombings and suicide attacks have been on a rise as seven people were killed and 20 others injured in twin suicide blasts in the southern Helmand province on Sunday.
