Three wounded in Kabul explosion

Kabul: An Afghan MP was among at least three people wounded when a roadside bomb struck his vehicle in Kabul yesterday, officials said, in the latest in a series of attacks on lawmakers.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the blast targeting Fakuri Behishti, an MP from central Bamiyan province.
"The bomb was placed under a bridge and it detonated when the MP's vehicle was passing through," interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish said.
"Three people including the MP were wounded."
But parliament speaker Abdul Raouf Ibrahimi told lawmakers that a relative of the MP had also been killed.
The attack comes as Taliban insurgents are pressing ahead with a nationwide offensive despite the onset of winter, when fighting usually ebbs.
