Two militants killed in attack on politician’s headquarters in Kabul

KABUL (AFP) - Two suicide bombers disguised as burqa-clad women were killed as they tried to storm the headquarters of an Afghan political party in Kabul Friday, its veteran leader said.

Hekmatyar is regarded as a political survivor in Afghanistan, having fought against the Soviet occupation, the Taliban’s first stint in power, and the Western-backed government that ruled until August last year.
