Afghanistan: Deadly explosion rocks Sikh temple in Kabul

An assault on a temple of Afghanistan’s tiny Sikh community has left one worshipper and a Taliban member dead as well as the unidentified attackers.

The temple in the capital Kabul was hit by a bomb early in the morning when up to 30 people were inside.

A Taliban spokesman said the attackers had attempted to drive a car laden with explosives into the area but they detonated before they reached their target.
