A suicide bomber on a motorbike has killed seven civilians in eastern Afghanistan. The attack took place in the center of the city of Khost on Monday.

The man detonated a bomb on his motorbike in front of the city's electric power headquarters and then explosives on his body a few minutes later.

It was unclear who he was targeting. There were no military or police nearby, but the later blast may have been planned to hit police or officials rushing to the scene.

Another 30 people in the area were wounded.
