Taliban Attack Kills 8 in Kabul --- At least eight Afghan military officers have died and several more have been wounded in a suicide attack on an air force bus in Kabul. -- Government officials said the attack took place near Kabul University early Wednesday. -- The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the bus was the intended target. The Taliban said their agent was on foot when he detonated near the bus. --- On Tuesday, Afghan officials delayed preliminary results for the nation's run-off presidential election, after failing to agree on an announcement about them. VOA reporters say sources on the Independent Election Commission now plan to announce the results next week. -- Candidate Abdullah Abdullah has vowed to reject the election results, saying massive ballot box stuffing occurred during the June 14 poll. Abdullah went into the second-round run-off election widely seen as the favorite to succeed President Hamid Karzai. -- The former foreign minister is running against former finance minister Ashraf Ghani. -- Earlier this month, Abdullah said he was boycotting the vote-counting process because the Independent Election Commission had failed to address his fraud concerns. -- The inconclusive election has left Afghanistan in limbo at a dangerous time, with a Taliban insurgency raging and most NATO-led forces preparing to leave the country by the end of the year. -- An agreement with Washington to allow a smaller U.S. military presence to stay remains unsigned, as President Karzai had wanted his successor to sign the pact. -- The United Nations' mission chief in Afghanistan has warned the "rising tensions" following the election could lead to a "protracted confrontation with a danger of a slide into violence." - More, http://www.voanews.com/content/taliban-attack-kills-kabul/1949025.html
