Roadside bombings have killed a local Afghan government official and a Nato service member.

Sarhadi Zewak, a spokesman for Laghman province, says the head of Dawlat Shahi district, died Wednesday when his motorcycle hit a roadside bomb.

Nato says the coalition service member was killed Wednesday in the south, but did not disclose further details.

Separately, the Helmand provincial governor's office says three local Afghan policemen were killed in Musa Qala district on Tuesday when a suicide bomber on a motorcycle blew himself up near their vehicle.

The three were responding to an earlier attack in the district that killed four policemen outside the police headquarters building.
