April 2016 Kabul attack

Kabul attack death toll more than doubles to 64

The death toll from a Taliban suicide attack in Kabul has more than doubled to 64, officials said April 20, making it the deadliest militant assault in the Afghan capital for years.

The brazen attack on April 19 on a security services office in the heart of Kabul is seen as the opening salvo in this year's Taliban spring offensive, launched last week.
