Wednesday 30 October 2013 11.58 EDT

Afghan investigators have fired or suspended at least six senior police, spies and other security officials over a microphone bomb that killed a provincial governor as he led prayers in a mosque this month.
The police chief of Logar province, who was on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia at the time of the assassination, has been fired, and the spy chief for the strategically vital area suspended while investigators try to determine how the explosives got inside the building.
