STORYLINE
In eastern Afghanistan, a suicide bomber killed 15 people on Monday, including a tribal leader who played a key role in a failed attempt to capture al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001, police said.
Police General Mohammad Ayub Salangi said Monday''s suicide attack occurred in Khogyani district, outside of Nangarhar province''s capital, Jalalabad, when a group of tribal elders and government workers were meeting with a few hundred Afghan refugees who had recently returned from Pakistan.
Among those killed was tribal leader and former mujahedeen fighter Mohammad Zaman Ghamsharik, better known as Haji Zaman.
He and another warlord from the Jalalabad area, Hazrat Ali, commanded Afghan forces who cornered bin Laden in the mountains of Nangarhar province in 2001 but failed to keep him from slipping away.
