Seven people were killed and six
injured in the early hours of Wednesday morning after two
Taliban suicide attacks against Afghan army vehicles, news
agency Pajhwok said, citing police sources.
Mohammad Ayoub Salangi, Afghan deputy minister of security,
said the suicide bombers attacked an army van in the vicinity of
Kabul University, while a second military vehicle was targeted
in Deh Sabz, in the outskirts of the Afghan capital.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujhaid claimed responsibility
for the attacks on twitter and specified the actions were part
of the 2014 Khaibar offensive.
Wednesday's onslaught was the Taliban's first since Ashraf
Ghani became president.
