* KUNDUZ - A suicide bomber killed seven people in northern Kunduz province, including the governor of Chardara district, the provincial governor's spokesman said.
The bomber walked into governor Wahed Omarkhel's office in Chardara district and blew himself up on Thursday morning, said Mahboobullah Sayedi, spokesman for the Kunduz governor.
The district police chief said seven people were killed in the attack, including Omarkhel, his two bodyguards, and three civilians. Five others were wounded.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the group was responsible for the attack.
The insurgency has been gaining ground in Kunduz, and a suicide bomber assassinated the previous governor last October.
