Suicide blast in Kabul kills 8 at Supreme Court

A suicide car bomber struck outside the Afghan Supreme Court in Kabul on Tuesday, killing at least eight people and wounding 20, police and health officials said. The attacker detonated his vehicle outside the court's back entrance as employees were leaving for the day, said police officer Jahn Agha.

Kabir Amiri, director of Kabul hospitals, said there were at least eight dead and 20 wounded in the attack. Police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai said the bomber drove an SUV and specifically targeted buses carrying Supreme Court employees. (AP)
