(Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed one of the most powerful men in north Afghanistan, along with a provincial police chief and three German troops, when he attacked a meeting of political and military leaders for once-peaceful Takhar province.

NATO's commander for the northern region and the governor of Takhar province were also in the provincial council gathering, but survived the attack, officials said.
