Kabul wedding blast toll hits 80

The death toll from an Islamic State attack on a Kabul wedding at the weekend has reached at least 80, an official said yesterday, as the Afghan capital still reels from the deadliest blast in more than a year. A suicide bomber targeted a packed Afghan wedding hall in west Kabul Saturday as celebrations were in full swing. Authorities said the initial death toll was at least 63, with more than 180 people wounded.
