KABUL—A suicide attacker detonated a car bomb outside a police station in the Afghan capital Kabul on Wednesday, Aug. 7, killing 14 people and wounding 145, government officials said, and the Taliban claimed responsibility.
There has been no let-up in violence in Afghanistan even though the Taliban and the United States appear close to a historic pact for U.S. troops to withdraw in exchange for a Taliban promise the country would not be used as a base from which to plot attacks by terrorists.
