Afghanistan

Four Taliban fighters were killed by Afghan forces in a failed suicide assault in Kabul. Yesterday, three suicide bombers killed two security guards in an attack in the capital. The National Directorate of Security claims that Taliban emir Mullah Omar has died and has split into three groups.
