Terror in Afghanistan: Karzai interrupts foreign trip

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has cut short an overseas trip after a series of suicide bombings killed nearly 60 people in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif. A Pakistan-based extremist group claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks, which appeared to target Shia Muslims celebrating the festival of Ashura. President Karzai had been in Germany attending an international conference on the future of his country, and had been due to go on to the UK.
