AFP: Afghanistan's Taliban insurgents today claimed a suicide car bombing that targeted staff of the Supreme Court and killed 14 civilians in Kabul. The militants said the attack was carried out to punish Afghan judges for sentencing to death Taliban prisoners held by the Afghan government.
"Today's attack was a warning should they (judges) continue to give tyrannical verdicts and intimidate (our) countrymen," said a copy of their statement sent to AFP.
A suicide car bomber rammed a bus packed with staff of Afghanistan's top court, killing 14 and wounding 38 in the second attack in two days in the heavily fortified capital, police said.
