KABUL, Afghanistan – A car bomb blew up outside a hospital in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, killing at least 25 people, Afghan authorities said.

The blast in the Azra district of Logar province, some 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of Kabul, also wounded more than 40 people, including patients, visitors and hospital workers, said Din Mohammad Darwesh, a spokesman for the provincial governor.

The Taliban denied responsibility for the bombing. Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the movement, told The Associated Press in a phone interview that "this attack was not done by our fighters."

Late Friday, another blast — this one caused by a bicycle rigged with explosives — ripped through a bazaar in the Khanabad districk of Kunduz province in northern Afghanistan, killing at least 10 people, including a police officer. At least 24 people were wounded in the attack, according to an Interior Ministry statement.

Also, NATO said an alliance service member was killed in an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan Saturday. NATO did not release any other details about the death.

That brings to 47 the number of NATO service members killed in June and more than 200 killed this year.




So are they still the 'good' Taliban?
There's no difference between the TTP and this group, ideologically speaking.
