MOSCOW — Afghanistan rebels today fired more than 20 rockets into the Afghan capital of Kabul, and one missile exploded near a bus stop, killing 35 people and wounding more than 150, the Tass press agency reported.
The attack, apparently the deadliest ever staged by anti-government insurgents on Kabul, was denounced by Tass as a “crime against the Afghan people.” Attacks on urban centers in Afghanistan have been mounting since the Soviets began withdrawing their 100,000 troops from the country in May.
