24 killed in Kabul bombings

Afghan officials say twin bombings near the Defense Ministry in the capital have killed 24.

Public Health Ministry spokesman Ismail Kawasi says another 91 people were wounded in the attack, which was claimed by the Taliban.

Deputy Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Radmanish says the second bombing was caused by a suicide attacker who struck the area of the first blast after security forces gathered there.
