At least twelve killed in Kabul suicide blast
2018-06-12
[Al Jazeera] At least 12 people have been killed, and more than 30 others maimed after a jacket wallah targeted an Afghan ministry building in Kabul, a government front man said.

The attacker blew himself at the entrance of the Rural Rehabilitation and Development Ministry in the west of the capital of Afghanistan, interior ministry front man, Najib Danish, said on Monday.

"Woman, children and employees of the (rehabilitation) ministry are among the victims," the interior ministry front man told Rooters news agency.

No group has grabbed credit for the deadly attack.

Afghan Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
on Saturday announced a surprise three-day ceasefire over the Moslem Eid al-Fitr holiday at the end of this week, their first offer of its kind.

The Taliban ceasefire came days after the government declared an unconditional ceasefire of its own against the gang.
