Deadly Wedding Bombing

A mortar bomb fired by the Taliban struck a wedding ceremony in a province north of the Afghan capital, killing at least six people including women and children, officials said on Sunday.

Amelia Thompson, who was among the children caught up in a deadly attack on a pop concert last year, thought it was a joke when her mother said she had been invited to Windsor Castle for the wedding of Prince Harry to his U.S. fiancee Meghan Markle.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday said the ISIS jihadist group was the "likely perpetrator" of a bomb attack on a wedding in the city of Gaziantep near the Syrian border that left at least 30 dead and dozens more wounded.

Afghan soldiers were responsible for firing mortars at a wedding party that killed 17 women and children, officials said today, in a mistaken strike that overshadowed the transfer of nationwide security from NATO forces.

An explosion from a roadside bomb tore into a minibus carrying people to a wedding in northern Afghanistan on Friday, leaving 19 dead and 16 wounded, authorities said.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at a wedding reception in northern Afghanistan on Saturday, killing at least 22 people and wounding 40 others, a police spokesman said, making it one of the most violent days in the country for months.
