A suicide bombing in Afghanistan’s Jalalabad city on Sunday claimed lives of 19 people and injured 20 others.
Of 19 deceased people, ten are from Afghanistan’s Sikh community.
The group of Sikhs were on their way to meet Afghan President Ashraf Ghani when the explosion happened in the eastern province of Nangarhar province.
It is pertinent to mention that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who is on a two-day visit to Nangarhar, earlier in the day attended the inauguration of a new hospital complex here.
Provincial governor spokesman Attaullah Khogyani confirmed the casualties.
The explosives were detonated close to the governor’s compound.
