KABUL: A suicide bomber on foot blew himself up in Kabul’s Shiite area on Friday, killing at least seven people, officials said, in the latest attack in the Afghan capital. “In the explosion seven were martyred and seven were wounded,” interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish wrote on Facebook. In return, Ghani said the militants should officially recognise the Afghan government and constitution, a perennial sticking point in past attempts to open talks. The United States has also called on the insurgents to consider the offer of peace talks. American officials are also braced for more fighting in the spring after an unusually violent winter when the conflict traditionally eases.
