Witnesses: Deadly blast strikes demonstration in Kabul
An explosion struck a large demonstration march in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Saturday, causing multiple casualties, according to officials and witnesses.
The marchers were ethnic Hazaras demanding that a major regional electric power line be routed through their impoverished home province. Most Hazaras are Shiite Muslims but most Afghans are Sunni.
Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, said police were working to confirm how many blasts had taken place and how many people were killed and injured.
