Three separate attacks on government buildings in the Afghan capital of Kabul have left at least 27 dead and scores more injured. According to reports the two of the attacks were carried out by suicide bombers while the third included five gunmen.

 

In the first attack a pair of suicide bombers detonated explosives at the Prisoners Affairs Department while the second suicide attack was carried out at the education ministry building. The third attack, carried out by the gunmen, targeted the justice ministry.

 

All three attacks have been claimed to be carried out by Taliban militants.

 

The justice ministry attack left ten staff workers dead, two intelligence workers and a policeman were also killed. All five gunmen were also killed.

 

Six policemen were killed in the suicide bombing at the Prisoners Affairs Department.

 

It is unclear how the most recent attacks will effect President Hamid Karzai’s announcement that he was ready to begin peace talks with the Taliban.
