Unknown armed men gunned down a member of provincial council in Logar province 60 km south of capital city Kabul on Sunday, a senior police officer, Mohammad Jan Abid, said.

"Abdullah Ahmadzai, a member of Logar provincial council, was on way to office this morning when two unidentified armed men riding a motorbike opened fire on his car, killing Ahmadzai and his two bodyguards," Abid told Xinhua.

The incident took place in Qalai Ali Khan village outside provincial capital Pul-e-Alam city at 09:00 a.m. local time and the attackers made their good escape, he further said.

He blamed the enemies of peace, a term used against Taliban militants by Afghan officials, but the outfit has yet to make comment.
