Afghanistan: Death Toll from Kabul Bombing Rises to 150, Making It Deadliest Attack Since 2001
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In breaking news from Afghanistan, at least seven civilians have been
killed and another 16 wounded in a blast outside a mosque in western
Afghanistan today. This comes as the death toll from last week's massive
suicide bombing in Kabul has risen to more than 150 people, making it
the deadliest attack in Kabul since the United States invaded
Afghanistan in 2001. Although the attack struck a diplomatic area near
several embassies, all of the bombing's victims were Afghan.
