Celebratory fire kills teen

An Afghan teenager has been killed by gunfire in the south of the country as cricket fans celebrated victory over Zimbabwe in Sharjah.

Several others were hurt as thousands of fans danced in the streets and fired into the air in cities and towns.

About 20 people have been arrested, police say. The death was reported in the province of Helmand.

Afghanistan's last-gasp win left them 3-2 up at the end of a five-match series.

The victory in the United Arab Emirates cements their place in the top 10 one-day sides in the world.

"We were resting at night - suddenly we heard frightening firing," the brother of one of the victims said. "There was lots of firing - we wondered whether a coup was taking place.

“One of my brothers was on the third floor, my other brother went upstairs to call him to the ground floor then he was hit in the shoulder."
