KABUL, Afghanistan, May 30 (UPI) -- The governor of the Afghan province of Kunduz was wounded Saturday when his car was struck by a roadside bomb, a spokesman said.
CNN reported Gov. Mohammad Omar was injured while returning from neighboring Takhar province when the remotely detonated bomb exploded.
The governor's spokesman, Mahbublah Saydi, said the blast damaged Omar's car and also left his driver wounded.
Also Saturday, CNN reported Afghan and coalition forces in Afghanistan, near the border with Pakistan, captured three suspected al-Qaida operatives, U.S. military officials said.
"Afghan and coalition forces have had some very successful operations in the last several days -- specifically in the eastern provinces -- and we are not slowing down," said Afghan Maj. Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi. "We will continue to partner with coalition forces and aggressively pursue extremists and the leaders who direct their actions."
