Kabul - A suicide bomber blew himself up in front of Kabul University on Wednesday, killing at least 26 civilians and wounding 18 others, an official said, as Afghans celebrate the Persian new year holiday.

"The attacker detonated his vest in a crowd of people. They were mostly people celebrating Nawrooz," interior ministry deputy spokesman Nasrat Rahimi told AFP.
