Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has vowed to bring the culprits behind Sunday's attack to justice after a suicide bomber detonated his explosives at a gathering of tribal elders in Jalalabad.
According to the Dawn, at least 14 people were killed at a prominent politician's home in Jalalabad.
Ghani said that when terrorists lose the ability to fight face-to-face with our security forces, then they target public places and kill innocent people.
He said that the government will fight those who shed the blood of innocent people.
The attack comes a day before the four-nation meeting scheduled to be held on reconciliation talks between the Afghan Government and the Taliban.
