Afghanistan holds funeral for MPs


The funerals have taken place in Kabul of five Afghan MPs who were killed in a bombing on Tuesday in the northern province of Baghlan.

They were buried beside the Afghan parliament under tight security.

Funerals for the rest of the victims, including a sixth MP and dozens of schoolchildren from Baghlan, took place on Wednesday.

The blast was the most serious aimed at politicians since the Taleban were ousted from power in 2001.
