At least seven killed in suicide attack on Kabul commemorationsKabul - A suicide bomber on a motorbike blew himself up near a convoy of gunmen commemorating the death anniversary of a famed resistance leader in Kabul on yesterday, killing at least seven people, officials said. At least seven people were killed and 24 wounded in the explosion, the interior ministry said in a statement. Elsewhere, nearly 20 members of the Afghan security forces were killed in fighting overnight, adding to the hundreds of people killed in recent weeks. "Air strikes were called in and over 50 Taliban fighters were killed" in the fighting in Daimirdad district, Mangal added. But yesterday's blatant lawlessness in the capital and the limited response from security forces further undermined confidence in authorities.
