Afghanistan blasts target presidential candidate Abdullah's convoy
None
KABUL - Two bombs exploded outside a hotel in western Kabul where Afghan presidential frontrunner Abdullah Abdullah was holding a rally, striking his car and injuring his bodyguards, the candidate said on Friday.
Police said two people were killed and 16 wounded in the attack on Abdullah's convoy, the first such incident in Afghanistan's on-going election campaign.
"When I was leaving the rally from the People's Islamic Unity Party, (one of) my car(s) was hit by a roadside bomb and damaged," Abdullah said at another rally soon afterwards. (Reuters)
