- 8 years ago
A suicide bombing near a police facility in Kabul left at least 10 people dead and 20 others wounded on Monday, Afghan officials said.
Gen. Mohammad Ayub Salangi, Afghanistan's deputy interior minister, said on Twitter that the assault occurred in the afternoon near Deh Mazang Square, in the west of the city, where several police stations are, including those of the border police and the National Civil Order Police.
The recent increase in urban attacks by the Taliban, in addition to a territory-gobbling offensive across the country, has coincided with international efforts to restart peace talks that stalled in July after it was revealed that the movement's leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, had d ied in 2013.
