70 Killed In Afghanistan As Taliban Launch Attacks

At least 70 people have been killed in Afghanistan after taliban militants launched separate attacks on a Hospital and a bus.

A suicide attacker killed up to 35 and injured dozens more after detonating a car bomb in Afghanistan's capital this morning.

It came a day after militants were accused of setting a hospital ablaze in the Central Ghor Province before slaughtering 35 patients inside.

This morning's Kabul explosion targeted a bus carrying employees of the Mines And Petroleum Ministry in Kabul but also destroyed shops and civilian vehicles. So far, more than 1,700 civilians in Afghanistan have been killed this year. More photos....
