An Afghan media watchdog says eight Afghan journalists have been killed in this morning's suicide attacks in Kabul that claimed at least 25 lives.
A statement from the Afghan Journalists Safety Committee also says that so far, six journalists have been reported wounded in Monday's attacks. The group strongly condemned all attacks against journalists.
The double suicide bombing took place in the central Kabul district of Shash Darak area, which is home to the NATO headquarters and a number of embassies in Afghanistan.
Police say the first bomber was on a motorcycle while the second was on foot, mixing in with a group of reporters who had rushed to the scene of the first bombing.
The fatalities among the reporters included Agence France-Presse's chief photographer in Kabul, Shah Marai, and also a cameraman for the local Tolo TV station.
