Ghazni: At least two people were killed while over 90 others injured in suicide attack outside a Nato-run training base on Friday.
Several NATO soldiers were lightly wounded, a spokesman for the US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said, without giving further details.
Taliban insurgents claimed responsibility for the blast, saying it was to avenge the execution on Wednesday of four Taliban members who had been on death row in Kabul.
“It was a car bomb by our mujahed on a military training centre,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP.
“It was a revenge attack by our mujahed in response to the execution of four mujahedeen by the Kabul administration.”
The head of the Maidan Shar hospital Ghulam Farooq Mukhlis said that 90 wounded including 75 men and 15 women and two killed were brought to the hospital.
“The rest were taken to private hospitals.”
The four executed Taliban members were among a total of 14 prisoners hanged over two days this week in rare mass executions.
