MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The explosion killed at least four and wounded 12 people, according to local TOLOnews. A suicide bomber blew himself up in the court's car park when employees were leaving the building. Numerous ambulance cars have been dispatched to the scene.
Afghanistan is in a state of political and social turmoil, with government forces fighting the continuing Taliban insurgency. The instability has persisted in the country since the 2001 US-led invasion to defeat the Taliban and al-Qaeda in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States.
The lack of control and instability turned the country into home to the largest opium poppy production and distribution network in the world.
