📰 Afghan-Taliban ceasefires are marred by another mass killing

Sunday marks the last day of Eid al-Fitr, the holiday celebrating the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
In honour of Eid, the Afghan Taliban announced a three-day truce -- except against foreign forces -- to coincide with the Afghan government's 10-day ceasefire for Eid.

But on Sunday, a suicide bomber attacked near the Nangarhar governor's compound, killing at least 18 people and wounding at least 49, provincial spokesman Attaullah Khoghyani said. The bombing took place while Gov. Hayatullah Hayat was meeting with Taliban members as part of the Taliban's ceasefire, which ended at midnight. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Sunday's attack.

But it came just a day after another suicide bombing in Nangarhar province killed 25 people -- including civilians and Taliban members. ISIS, which is not party to any ceasefire, claimed responsibility for that attack.
