Suicide bomb hits Kabul as Taliban battle police
A suicide bomber struck in the heart of the Afghan capital on Friday, sending a plume of smoke over Kabul in the second major attack in the city in little over a week, police said. The explosion was followed by an hours-long gunbattle in the central district.
The Taliban claimed responsibility and said their fighters were still battling police in Kabul and that they had allegedly killed several people. (AP)
