At least 20 killed in Kabul sports club attack

Kabul : At least 20 people have been killed including two Afghan journalists after twin blasts at a Kabul wrestling club on Wednesday that left another 70 wounded, officials said, in the latest assault on the capital.

An hour after a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the sports hall in a heavily Shiite neighbourhood, a car packed with explosives detonated as journalists and security forces gathered at the scene. At least four journalists were wounded in the second explosion, media support group NAI said. Tolo News, Afghanistan’s largest private broadcaster, confirmed two of their journalists were killed.
