Kabul/New Delhi: Two Indians are among 25 people killed in a string of bombings across Afghanistan on Monday.
In the first attack, a Taliban suicide bomber hit a minibus carrying foreign security guards in Kabul along the main road to the eastern city of Jalalabad. The Taliban also claimed a second smaller blast in south Kabul.
The third blast took place in a market in the remote northeastern province of Badakhshan.
