A suicide bomber has killed at least 10 people in an attack on tribal elders in eastern Afghanistan, the interior ministry has said.
Police say civilians and elders were among the dead in the blast in Kunar province near the Pakistan border.
A police spokesman told the AP news agency that the target of the attack was Malik Zarin, an influential pro-government tribal elder who was killed.
A Taliban spokesman denied the group carried out the attack.
