Breaking News - Afghanistan: Suicide blast kills top police commander
The police commander for northern Afghanistan has been killed in a suicide bomb attack on Takhar province governor's office, officials say.
Gen Mohammad Daud Daud is one of at least seven people killed in the suicide bomb attack, police say.
Western and Afghan troops are among "a significant number of casualties", a Nato spokesman said.
Gen Daud was former military commander of the Northern Alliance, the Afghan forces who fought the Taliban.
Afghanistan has seen a series of attacks in recent months by militants on police and military targets.
The latest attack will be seen as significant because it has struck an area of the country's north which has been seen as relatively secure.
The Taliban have recently declared a "spring offensive" of attacks against security forces across the country.
The latest attack occurred at the compound of Takhar provincial governor Abdul Jabar Taqwa, in Taloqan, while officials were having a meeting, a police spokesman said.
Seven people were killed in the explosion, including three German troops, a spokesman for the governor's office told AFP news agency, but this has not been confirmed.
German troops are based in neighbouring Kunduz province, and have oversight of Takhar.
Shah Jahan Nuri, the provincial police chief, was among the victims, and the governor was injured, the spokesman added.
The Taliban has claimed it carried out the attack.
The top commander of foreign troops in north Afghanistan was in the compound at the time but survived the explosion, a Nato spokesman said.
"We are aware of reports there has been an attack at the governor's palace in Taloqan, Takhar province," said Major Tim James, spokesman for the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) in Kabul.
"Initial reports indicate there have been a number of Isaf and ANSF (Afghan National Security Force) casualties."
General Daud was a former deputy interior minister for narcotics.
He had also served as the bodyguard to Ahmad Shah Massoud, who commanded the Northern Alliance.link

Taliban burns 2 alive. Taliban subordinate turns against his superior, killing him. Part of chann
A senior Afghan general has ordered the capture of a Taliban deputy governor alleged to have authorised the burning alive of two people.
General Daud Daud told the BBC that the incident happened last Friday in the northern province of Sar-e Pol.
He said that the gruesome killings were ordered by Maulvi Nasrullah, a deputy governor of the Taliban in neighbouring Balkh province.
Afghanistan's human rights commission condemned the incident.
In a statement, it said that all those responsible must be arrested for what it called "the gravest human rights violation".
The Taliban say that they are unaware of the incident.
Officials say that one of those killed was a driver of a local Taliban commander.
They say that the burning happened when the Taliban commander, Mastu Khan, abducted an influential tribal elder from Gosfandi district.
Mr Khan's bodyguard, known only as Daoud, opposed the abduction and was beaten by Mr Khan for not obeying orders.
Daoud allegedly killed Mr Khan in retaliation for his beating and escaped. He is now receiving hospital treatment in Kabul.
It was a rare case of a Taliban subordinate turning against a superior.
Officials say that on the morning after the escape, the kidnapped trader and the driver were beaten by the Taliban who suspected them of having a role in Mastu Khan's killing.
Maulvi Nasrullah is alleged to have ordered that the pair be doused with fuel and burnt alive. link
