Afghanistan: Explosions Kill Dozens as Taliban Reorganizes Leadership

HeadlineAug 10, 2015

In news from Afghanistan, multiple explosions in the capital city of Kabul killed over 40 people on Friday in attacks outside an Afghan military base, a police academy and a U.S. Special Operations Forces base. On Saturday, a suicide bomber killed 29 people at a meeting of pro-government forces in the northern Kunduz province. Another attack outside Kabul’s airport Monday morning killed at least five people. The wave of violence comes as the Taliban reorganizes its leadership following the recent announcement of the death of former leader Mullah Omar.
