Suicide blast targets gathering in Afghan capital Kabul

Hamid Shalizi, Mohammad Aziz
KABUL (Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew himself up in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Friday, killing at least seven people in an attack on a crowd gathered to commemorate a political leader from the mainly Shi’ite Hazara minority, officials said.

One policeman and six civilians were killed and 15 civilians wounded when the bomber was stopped at a security checkpoint in the Mosalla-e Mazar area in Kabul, said Najib Danesh, an interior ministry spokesman.

However, the final confirmed toll may be higher. Shah Shir Azara, a security marshal at the site, said 13 people had been killed.
