Official campaigning for presidential elections got off to an ominous start on Sunday as suspected Taliban fighters attacked the Kabul political offices of President Ashraf Ghani’s running mate, leaving at least 20 people dead and dozens more wounded, according to the interior ministry.
Just hours after Mr. Ghani kicked off his campaign for another five-year term in office with the declaration to war-weary Afghans that “peace is coming,” a car bomb exploded outside the fortified office compound of Amrullah Saleh, former head of Afghanistan’s intelligence agency and one of two vice presidents on Mr. Ghani’s ticket for the twice-postponed presidential election, now scheduled for Sept. 28.
