3 suicide bombs in Afganistan kill 25, Taliban claims responsibility for 2
An official in Afganistan's Interior Ministry stated that a Taliban suicide bomber killed 14 Nepalese security guards in an attack Monday on their minibus in the Afghan capital of Kabul.
Elsewhere in Afghanistan, a bomb rigged to a motorbike killed 10 Afghan civilians during morning rush hour in a busy market in a province in the northeast.
Later Monday in Kabul, another Taliban bombing killed an Afghan civilian and wounded five people, including a provincial council member who was the intended target of that attack.
The attack was the latest to hit Kabul as the Taliban have stepped up their assaults as part of their summer offensive. The insurgents frequently target government employees and Afghan security forces across the country.
