Karzai's Brother Escapes Attack

Gunmen have attacked a motorcade that Afghan President Hamid Karzai's brother was traveling in, killing one of his body guards.

Ahmad Wali Karzai was not harmed in Monday's attack.

He says the attack was an attempt to assassinate him as he traveled from eastern Nangarhar province to Kabul.

A day before the attack, he was in Nangarhar's capital of Jalalabad to thank the provincial governor Gul Agha Sherzai for not running against his brother in this year's presidential election.

Ahmad Wali Karzai is the president of the provincial council of the southern Kandahar province.
