A suicide bomber killed 29 people Wednesday in Kabul, the latest in a string of attacks to rock the Afghan capital since the start of the year.
Another 52 people were injured in the blast, according to Ministry of Public Health spokesman Wahid Majroh.
A spokesman for Kabul city police, Basir Mojahid, said the attacker was trying to reach the capital's Sakhi shrine, where people had gathered to celebrate the Persian new year, known as Nowruz.
