A suicide attacker has killed at least seven people, detonating his vest near a political gathering in Afghan capital, Kabul, officials confirmed.
Kabul police spokesman Abdul Basir Mujahid told Al Jazeera that the attacker was stopped at the entrance of the hall, which is usually used for weddings, where he detonated his weapons to “disrupt a political gathering under way inside”.
Supporters of Atta Mohammad Noor, governor of the northern province of Balkh, were holding an event inside the hall at the time of explosion.
Health ministry spokesman Ismail Kawoosi told Al Jazeera that at least five people were wounded and transferred to the city’s emergency hospital.
