Dostum on horse STORYLINE: Campaigning for Afghanistan's first direct presidential election ended with a burst of violence on Wednesday as attackers set off a bomb in a failed effort to kill interim Afghan leader Hamid Karzai's vice presidential running-mate. Attackers set off the explosive as a convoy carrying vice presidential hopeful Ahmed Zia Massood and other dignitaries drove through northeastern Afghanistan on Wednesday. Massood was not harmed, but officials said one man was killed and another five were injured. Karzai called the attack a "dastardly thing." The bomb - rigged up to be detonated by remote control - went off on a road in northeastern Badakhshan province, presidential spokesman Khaleeq Ahmed said. The former governor of Badakhshan was among those injured, according to a government spokesman. The politician, Said Ikramuddin Masumi, would recover, the spokesman added. Masumi was governor of Badakhsan until he stepped down recently to work on Karzai's campaign. The area where Massood's convoy was attacked was not considered a haven for Taliban rebels and had been relatively peaceful. It is, however, a centre of Afghanistan's booming opium and heroin trade, with countless poppy fields dotting the landscape. Ahmed Zia Massood is the brother of slain Northern Alliance commander Ahmed Shah Massood. Karzai selected him as a running mate over current Vice President and Defence Minister Mohammed Fahim, a Tajik faction leader. Karzai is the overwhelming favourite to win the vote on Saturday in Afghanistan's landmark presidential election, and he hopes the victory will add teeth to his often limited control of the vast, barren country. Afghanistan's interim leader told a stadium packed with supporters on Wednesday that their vote in the country's first-ever presidential election later this week would lay the foundation for democracy in the war-shattered nation. The attack, in the northeast, was at least the third on Karzai and his political allies since campaigning began on September 7. Karzai survived a rocket attack on his helicopter on September 16 as he was on his way to a campaign stop in the southeastern city of Gardez. Police said a bodyguard was injured in that attack.
