Khaliq had been returning from a funeral in Kharwar for two family members of a police officer who were killed in a rocket attack blamed on the Taliban, Mojadidi said.

"I am told they were in their cars when the incident happened," Mojadidi said. "There is no doubt that the Taliban were behind it."
