Explosion Targets Ghazni Gathering; 15 Killed: Interior Ministry
[ToloNews] At least 15 non-combatants were killed and 20 more were maimed in a kaboom at a gathering in Gelan district, Ghazni province, on Friday afternoon, the Interior Ministry Affairs says.

The explosives were loaded on a cycle of violence that was parked near a house in Agho Jan village in Gelan district where a group of people had gathered to attend a Koran recitation ceremony, the Interior Affairs Ministry’s front man Tariq Arian said.

The explosion comes amidst a sharp increase in violence in the country despite efforts to end the decades of conflicts through a political solution.

President Ghani in a statement condemned the attack and said "the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
should accept the people’s call for ceasefire, refrain from terrorist attacks that are against humanity and Islam and should accept the grinding of the peace processor."

Sources said that children are also among those who bit the dust in the attack.

The Taliban so far has not commented on the attack.
