KABUL, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has accused the enemies of Afghanistan of involvement in the assassination of Hakim Tanaiwal the late governor of southeastern Paktia province and condemned it "The enemies of Afghanistan are trying to kill those people who are working for the peace and prosperity of Afghanistan.

    The enemies of Afghanistan must understand that we have millions of people like Mr. Taniwal who will continue to serve this great nation," according to a statement of the presidency received here on Monday.

    Tanaiwal who served as the governor of the restive Paktia province was killed along with two colleagues when a suicide bomber blew himself up as the governor left his office on Sunday.

    Four more people were killed as another suicide bomber targeted the funeral ceremony of the late provincial governor at his province Khost on Monday.

    No one has claimed responsibility but the officials usually put such attacks on the enemies of Afghanistan a term used against Taliban-linked militants.

    More than 2,300 people mostly militants have been killed in Taliban-led insurgency so far this year in Afghanistan, according to official statistics. Enditem
