KHOST, Afghanistan, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Three civilians were killed and 11 others wounded in a bomb attack in Afghanistan's eastern province of Khost on Monday, local police said.
"An improvised explosive device attached to a motorcycle was detonated in Nadir Shah Kot District roughly at 5:15 p.m. local time. The motorcycle was parked outside a playground where local villagers were playing a football match," Haidar Shah Adil, provincial police spokesman, told Xinhua.
The bodies and the wounded were shifted to a district hospital, and the wounded people did not suffer life-threatening wounds, the spokesman said, adding an investigation has been initiated into the incident.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The incident came as a U.S.-Taliban peace deal was signed in Qatari capital of Doha on Saturday, calling for a gradual withdrawal of U.S. troops if the Taliban negotiates with the Afghan government and cuts ties with terrorist groups.
