A suicide bomber in Afghanistan has killed 14 people during a meeting of pro-government tribal elders who had gathered to celebrate the release of one of their sons from Taliban kidnappers.
The bomber was mingling with crowds at the public event before detonating the explosives hidden within his clothes, wounding the recently freed man and killing 14 others.
Gory images taken from the scene of the bombing show the suspected attacker’s legs lying in the centre of a courtyard filled with soldiers and security forces.
WNU Editor: The Taliban were quick to deny any involvement in this bomb attack .... especially since one of the victims was just released by them. But fingers are pointing at them and at the Islamic State. Either way .... this makes it even more difficult for the peace process to proceed.
