The council chief, Attajan Haqbayat, survived Sunday's attack with minor injuries, although one of his bodyguards was among those killed, said provincial police spokesman Hikmatullah Kochai. Afghan officials, however, have expressed concerns that a rapid reduction in American troops could strengthen the negotiating position of the Taliban.
