A prominent Afghan doctor, his rights activist wife and four of their children were all killed in Friday's suicide attack on a Kabul supermarket, President Hamid Karzai said Saturday.

Hameeda Barmaki, a professor at Kabul University and child rights activist at the country's Independent Human Rights Commission, was shopping with her husband and children when the blast ripped through the three-storey shop in downtown Kabul.

"The martyrdom of this intellectual family who were committed to serving their nation is a loss," Karzai said in statement Saturday, offering condolences on the deaths.

Doctor Masood Yama's mother is senator Mahbuba Hoqoqmal, a former minister of women's affairs under Karzai.
