The political offices of the Afghan president's running mate were hit by a large
explosion and stormed by an unknown number of attackers, Afghan officials said Sunday.
The attack comes on the first day of campaigning for presidential
elections, scheduled for late September.
Nasrat Rahimi, the interior ministry spokesman, said the attack targeted the Green Trend party headquarters in the Afghan capital,
Kabul, but denied reports that vice presidential candidate Amrullah Saleh was wounded in the attack.
