Suicide bomber kills at least 20 at Kabul's Supreme Court

AKIPRESS.COM - At least 20 people have been killed in a suicide bombing at Afghanistan's Supreme Court in Kabul, officials say.

The government said 41 people were injured, 10 of them critically. All of the casualties are civilians, BBC reported.

The bomber targeted the car park of the court compound as employees were leaving to go home, reports say.

There was no immediate claim for the attack, which follows a number of deadly bombings by the Taliban and other militants in recent months.

The attack came hours after a senior district official in western Farah province was killed in a bombing claimed by the Taliban.
