Iran Press/ Asia: The blast on Sunday was due to a mine embedded in the fourth security district of Jalalabad and left one people killed and dozens injured.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, the spokesman for Gazni governorate Aref Noori said that unknown gunmen shot dead the province's head of guilds.
Afghanistan's president Mohammad Ashraf Ghani is Washington to negotiate with his US counterpart over the US-Taliban deal that agreed 'in principle' for the exit of nearly 5,000 US troops from the war-torn country, according to Tolo news.
Some Taliban officials have said they would only agree to talk to Afghan officials in a private capacity, not as representatives of the state, and they remain opposed to presidential elections scheduled for September 28.
About 14,000 US troops and some 17,000 troops from 39 NATO allies and partner countries are in Afghanistan in a non-combative role.
The US and its allies invaded Afghanistan under the guise of the war on terror in 2001. While the invasion ended the Taliban's rule in the country, it has failed to eliminate the militant group.
A new study, conducted by Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies, shows that almost 100,000 people have been killed and the same number have been wounded in Afghanistan since the US invasion of 2001.
