He was killed as he left his home to go to his office in Logar, said Interior Ministry spokesman Zemaria Bashary.
The roadside bomb, which was remotely detonated, exploded about 300 yards from Wardak’s home, said Abdul Razaq, police chief of the Paghman district in Kabul province. Three of Wardak’s bodyguards, including one driving the vehicle carrying Wardak, were killed, Razaq said.
