More than 16 people were killed 57 injured in a suicide bombing attack at an education centre in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul on Saturday.
Health Ministry spokesman Saeed Jami said 17 bodies had been recovered and 57 injured people transported by ambulance to hospitals. Casualties could rise, he added.
A Taliban spokesman denied responsibility for the attack, which came at a sensitive time as teams for the insurgents and government meet in Qatar to seek a peace deal even as violence rises and the United States withdraws troops.
The suicide attack, which also wounded 57, happened late afternoon at the centre, which offers training and courses for students in higher education in a western district of Kabul.
