Taliban Assaults On Government Kill 26 In Kabul -- AFP
KABUL (AFP) — Taliban militants launched suicide bomb and gun attacks Wednesday on three Afghan government buildings, killing at least 26 people, in one of the most daring assaults on the capital to date.
The defence ministry said eight suicide attackers also died in the near-simultaneous strikes on the prisons directorate, and justice and education ministries -- the deadliest insurgent attacks in Afghanistan so far this year.
A Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, told AFP in a telephone call that 16 suicide attackers had entered the Afghan capital and would carry out a wave of strikes, as the violence sowed panic across the city.
"So far we have registered 26 people killed and 55 wounded," health ministry spokesman Abdullah Fahim said by mid-afternoon. Most were civilians, he said.
