Two suicide attacks in Kabul — one targeting a play staged at a French-financed school — killed at least nine people on December 11 in the latest wave of violence there as most NATO troops pull out of Afghanistan.
Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi says a suicide bomber blew himself up in the audience of the play at Istiqlal High School, which is attached to Kabul’s long-established French cultural center.
Afghan police say the teenage bomber killed at least one German citizen and injured seven people.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says the attack killed several people but none of the dead were French citizens.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid says the Taliban was responsible for that attack, which killed six soldiers in the Afghan National Army and injured 10 people, including civilians.
