A suicide bomber struck on the road to a Shiite shrine in Kabul on Wednesday, killing at least 26 people and leaving 18 wounded as Afghans celebrated the Persian New Year. The attack took place near Kabul University and a government hospital, around one kilometer (mile) away from the Sakhi shrine, where people were gathered to celebrate the New Year. The Persian New Year, known in Afghanistan as Nowruz, is a national holiday, and the country's minority Shiites typically celebrate by visiting shrines.
