Police suspect the bomb was planted in a car and was detonated remotely.
(SOUNDBITE) (Pashto) USMAN, EYEWITNESS, SAYING:
"I was lying on bed, when all of sudden I heard the blast and I thought the roof will collapse. I was unable to see anything, it was pitch dark, and I called for help."
More than 30 people were wounded in the attack.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast , but Taliban militants have been carrying out similar bombings in the province, which borders Afghanistan.
