11 children and nine journalists among victims of Afghan terror attacks
Relatives, colleagues and friends bury the body of AFP chief photographer, Shah Marai, who was killed in today's second suicide attack, in his village, Gul Dara, a district of Kabul province, Afghanistan
AT LEAST 37 people were killed, including 11 children and nine journalists, by terrorist attacks in Afghanistan today.
The carnage wrought by two suicide bombers in Kabul and another in Kandahar marked 17 years since the US invasion of the country in 2001 and nearly four years since former US president Barack Obama declared the long war over.
Responsibility for the Kabul bombings was claimed by Isis, targeting the central Shash Darak area of the capital, home to Afghan intelligence, Nato headquarters and several foreign embassies.
