Daesh claims responsibility for the attack that killed at least 32 people and wounded dozens in the Afghan capital
Gunmen opened fire on Friday at a ceremony in Afghanistan's capital attended by prominent political leaders, killing at least 32 people and wounding dozens more before the two attackers were slain by police, officials said.
Opposition leader Abdullah Abdullah, who is the country's chief executive and was a top contender in last year's presidential election, was among several prominent political officials who attended the ceremony but left before the attack and were unhurt. Several witnesses said that, amid the panic, members of the security forces guarding the event had fired on civilians in the crowd.
After opening fire, the two gunmen holed up in a half-finished apartment building, leading to a five-hour standoff with security forces. They were eventually killed and security forces were clearing the building, Rahimi said.All of the casualties were civilians, Rahimi said.
