Afghanistan: At least 24 dead, 91 injured after bombs exploded in Kabul, taliban claims responsibility
Taliban terrorists claimed responsibility for two bomb blasts Monday near the Afghan Ministry of Defense in Kabul that killed nearly two dozen people.
Saleem Rasooli, head of Kabul hospitals, told CNN at least 24 people had been killed in the attack — which also injured 91 others.
The afternoon attack included an initial bombing, followed by a suicide bomb attack, said Sediq Sediqi, spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of Information.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahed tweeted that the Taliban had carried out the attack, the latest of several kidnappings and bombings blamed on the hardline religious terrorist group.
