Taliban suicide bombers have killed 48 people in two separate attacks in Afghanistan, with an election rally for Afghanistan’s President appearing to be the main target.
In Parwan province north of Kabul, 26 people died at an election rally where President Ashraf Ghani was due to speak was attacked, while 22 people died when a bomb exploded near the US embassy in central Kabul.
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for both attacks and say they will continue disrupting political rallies in the lead up to this month’s presidential elections.
