A former Afghan television presenter and two other civilians were killed in a bomb explosion in Kabul on Saturday, police said, in the latest violence to rock the city.

Yama Siawash was killed when a bomb attached to his vehicle exploded near his residence in the Afghan capital, police spokesman Ferdaws Faramarz told journalists.
