General Scott Miller, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan who had been at a meeting with Razeq and the governor of the southern province of Kandahar only moments earlier, was not injured in the attack.

Taliban militants claimed responsibility for the assault, which decapitated the security command in one of the country's most strategically important and contested provinces.
