Nangarhar police spokesman Hazrat Hussain Mashriqiwal said that the attack was carried out in the city of Jalalabad on Saturday.

On Friday, a bomb explosion killed at least five people and wounded eight others in the southern province of Helmand.

The militant group has said it would use every possible tactic to inflict casualties on Afghan and US-led forces. Taliban has specifically mentioned insider attacks and bombings.
Local residents say the Taliban militants now control nearly 80 percent of Helmand Province.
The Afghan army and police have stepped up efforts to clear more areas of militants, as Afghanistan is preparing for the presidential and provincial council elections.
The United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but the country is still gripped by insecurity.
