Afghanistan: Explosions Kill Dozens as Taliban Reorganizes Leadership 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
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.
