The death toll from a massive <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/10-killed-in-car-bomb-attack-in-southern-afghanistan-governor-250502">Taliban bomb attack</a> which flattened a hospital in southern Afghanistan earlier this week has risen to at least 39, officials said Friday.

The jump in the toll from the blast, which took place in the town of Qalat in Zabul province on Thursday, takes the total number of people killed in just three days of violence across the war-torn country this week to at least 91.

"The toll from the hospital attack in Qalat has jumped to 39 killed, 140 others wounded," Gul Islam Seyal, the spokesman for the provincial governor, told AFP.

Earlier, authorities had said the blast had killed 20 people.

Another official put the toll even higher Friday, at 41.

The surge in violence, with civilians paying the heaviest price, has come after US President Donald Trump called off talks with the Taliban that could have seen Washington begin withdrawing troops, and as the country gears up for a presidential election.

The insurgents responded to Trump's declaration that the talks were "dead" earlier this month by promising to continue fighting, and have vowed to target the September 28 polls.

But they also left the door open for talks to resume. The White House has said the talks will not continue if the violence does, but the Taliban have argued that the US is also killing people in Afghanistan.

Thursday's bloodshed began with the Qalat bomb near dawn.

Hours later, reports emerged of an airstrike in eastern Nangarhar province said to have killed at least nine civilians.

"US forces conducted a precision strike against Da'esh terrorists in Nangarhar early (on September 19)," Col. Sonny Leggett, spokesman for US Forces-Afghanistan, said in a statement on Friday, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State militant group.

"We are aware of allegations of the death of non-combatants and are working with local officials to determine the facts to ensure this is not a ploy to deflect attention from the civilians murdered by the Taliban at a hospital in Zabul earlier."

The strike came just hours after four people were killed on Wednesday when unknown gunmen and a suicide bomber stormed a government building in nearby Jalalabad, capital of Nangarhar.

On Tuesday, the Taliban killed nearly 50 people in two separate attacks -- one at a campaign rally for President Ashraf Ghani in the central province of Parwan, and the other in Kabul.

Ordinary Afghans continue to bear the brunt of the conflict, with more civilians killed in 2018 than during any other year on record, according to the United Nations.

Afghanistan: Death toll from Taliban bomb attack rises to 39

A large fire broke out on Monday at a weapons depot run by an Iraqi militia group, causing explosions heard across Baghdad, killing one person and injuring 29 others, authorities said.

The depot, run by a militia group under the umbrella of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces, was located inside a federal police base in the southern suburbs of Baghdad.

The facility stored short-range and Katyusha missiles, a security source told Reuters.&nbsp;

The fire set off some of the rockets which struck neighbourhoods several kilometres (miles) away and injuring mainly children, said Qasim al-Attabi, a spokesman for the district`s health directorate.&nbsp;

Health Ministry spokesman Saif Badr said most of the wounded were discharged from area hospitals with light wounds.

A police source said the fire was probably caused by negligence leading to poor storage conditions and high temperatures. The Interior Ministry ordered an investigation.

Blasts from Iraqi militia weapons depot kill one, injure 29

At least eight people were killed and dozens more wounded Friday when a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/afghanistan-two-killed-10-injured-in-blast-near-kabul-university-237024">bomb detonated near a major university in Kabul</a> while students were waiting to take an exam, officials said.

The blast comes amid an unending wave of violence across Afghanistan, where civilians are being killed every day in the country's gruelling conflict, now in its 18th year.

The Taliban denied any involvement in Friday's blast, which took place near the southern entrance to Kabul University, an official with the interior ministry's media office told AFP.

Health ministry spokesman Wahidullah Mayar said the death toll had reached eight, with another 33 injured.

"Wounded patients have been receiving the required medical and surgical treatment," he said on Twitter.

The heavily militarised Afghan capital remains one of the highest-profile targets for both the Taliban and the so-called Islamic State group, with both regularly launching devastating attacks that often kill and maim civilians.

Bahar Mehr, the interior ministry official, said five people had been killed including a traffic police officer.

"The wounded were law students gathered for (an examination). We do not know how many students had gathered there," he said.

The blast had been caused by a sticky bomb, he said, a common threat in Kabul where criminals and insurgents often slap explosives under vehicles.

Local media reports said police had been pursuing the vehicle when it detonated.&nbsp;

"The university and the examination ceremony were not the target of the attack, and we are investigating," Firdaws Faramarz, Kabul police spokesman, told TV network TOLO.

Last week, IS claimed responsibility for a suicide attack at a wedding ceremony in Nangarhar province.

The hardline Sunni extremists have a growing footprint in Afghanistan and the United States wants to leave a counter-terrorism force in the country to tackle them in the event of a peace deal with the Taliban.

Afghanistan: Death toll in blast near Kabul University mounts to 8, dozens wounded

At least four civilians were killed, and 25 others wounded after suicide bombers attacked an aid agency in Afghanistan's capital of Kabul on Wednesday.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack shortly after the deadly attack.

The five assailants were all killed during a counter-attack conducted by Afghan elite police forces that lasted nearly six hours.

The attack took place at midday when the attackers detonated an explosive-laden vehicle at the gates of non-governmental organisation Counterpart International in the Afghan capital. Following the blast, a plume of black smoke could be seen rising over the city.

Afghan security forces evacuated about 200 people from the targeted building and nearby offices, the Ministry of Interior Affairs said in a statement. The security forces reportedly seized another vehicle at the scene and defused the bombs.

The blast shattered windows even 200 meters away.

"After the explosion, huge clouds of dust rose in the air, and the debris was blown over to this area and the park. Then another blast happened and there were huge clouds of dust again. The security forces arrived after that," said Ramsh, a witness at the scene.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, UN mission in the country and Afghans strongly condemned the attack which occurred on the third day of Muslim's fasting month of Ramadan.

Taliban attack at NGO kills at least 9 in Kabul

A double bomb attack Tuesday in the northern Syrian city of Raqa, a former bastion of the Islamic State group, killed 13 people, mostly civilians, a war monitor said.

A car bomb and explosive ordinance struck a crowded street, killing nine civilians and four US-backed fighters, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack near a military outpost of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who have been fighting IS.

A Raqa resident said he saw black smoke rising above the site of the attack as ambulance sirens rang out.

He said he saw "blotches of blood on the ground".

"There is panic and fear in the area after the bombings," he added.

Raqa city was captured by the SDF in 2017 after a massive operation against the jihadists.

The SDF declared it had defeated the jihadists' so-called "caliphate" last month, after a months-long offensive in Syria's east.

IS fighters, however, retain a presence in Syria's vast Badia desert and various other hideouts, and continue to claim deadly attacks in SDF-held territory.

Earlier on Tuesday, a car bomb targeted a patrol of the US-led coalition in the northeastern town of Shadadi, the war monitor said.

But it failed to hit its target, leading only to the death of the suicide bomber, it said.

Sleeper cells

Last month, IS fighters killed seven US-backed fighters in an attack on the northern city of Manbij.

The SDF has warned that a new phase has begun in anti-IS operations, and appealed for sustained coalition assistance to help hunt down sleeper cells.

IS seized a large swathe of Syria and neighbouring Iraq in 2014, declaring a "caliphate" in the lands it controlled.

After various offensives saw the jihadists lose their main cities in 2017, the SDF on March 23 declared they had vanquished its last patch of territory in the eastern village of Baghouz near the Iraqi border.

At the height of their rule, the extremists ruled millions of people in a proto-state the size of the United Kingdom.

They collected taxes, minted their own coins, and meted out brutal punishment on anyone who disobeyed or opposed them.

Saturday's deaths are the latest in Syria's devastating eight-year war, which has killed more than 370,00 people since starting in 2011 with the brutal repression of anti-regime protests.

Bomb attack kills 13 in Syria's Raqa: War monitor

Four people were killed and 10 injured in Pakistan on Sunday when a bomb went off on a train track in the resource-rich province of Balochistan, where separatist rebels have been fighting the security forces for years.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but ethnic Baluch separatists, fighting what they call the unfair exploitation of their province's gas and other resources, have attacked trains in the past.

'Four people – a teenage girl her mother and two others were killed in the blast,'&nbsp;Irfan Bashir, police chief of Naseerabad district where the blast occurred, told Reuters.

The blast derailed six carriages of the train, which was travelling from the northwestern city of Peshawar to the Balochistan provincial capital of Quetta.

It was the second train attack in two weeks in the area. No casualties were reported in the earlier blast, said another police officer.

Balochistan is an important part of transport and energy projects that form part of China’s Belt and Road initiative, which has brought $57 billion of investment to Pakistan.

Violence in the province, which borders Afghanistan and Iran, has fuelled concern about security for the investment, in particular, an energy link planned to run from western China to Pakistan's southern port of Gwadar.

Pakistan: Four killed, 10 wounded after bomb went off on train track in Balochistan

Four Iraqi policemen were killed Sunday in two back-to-back bomb blasts at one of their positions north of the capital, near a former jihadist bastion, local officials and officers said.

"At around 8:00 am, the police officers were taking up their post at the southern entrance of Al-Sharqat," the town's mayor, Ali Dodah, told AFP.

"One bomb went off, killing two police officers and wounding eight. An hour and a half later, as reinforcements arrived, a second bomb went off," Dodah said.

A police officer speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed the first blast's toll to AFP and said the second explosion killed two officers and wounded three.

And a medical source at Al-Sharqat's hospital confirmed a total of four officers were killed. &nbsp;

Al-Sharqat, around 250 kilometres (150 miles) north of Baghdad, was held by the Islamic State group until autumn 2017.

It was one of the last areas recaptured by the government, which announced several months later that it had ousted IS from Iraq.

But hit-and-run attacks — particularly assassinations and kidnappings of local officials — still take place and hint at an underground network of IS sleeper cells in some of the country's most remote areas.&nbsp;

On Thursday, a car bomb killed a police officer near Hawija, another former IS stronghold.&nbsp;

Four policemen dead in back-to-back bomb blasts in Iraq

At least 17 people were killed as <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/philippines-catholic-church-comes-out-against-dutertes-war-on-drugs-12519">two bombs hit a church on a southern Philippine island</a> that is a stronghold of Islamist militants, the military said Sunday, just days after a regional vote for a new Muslim autonomous region.&nbsp;

The first blast occurred inside the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/pope-francis-says-church-hasnt-known-how-to-listen-193036">Catholic church</a> on war-torn Jolo on Sunday morning as mass was being celebrated, and was followed by a second explosion in the parking lot as troops responded, regional military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Gerry Besana told AFP.&nbsp;

Photos issued by the regional police showed debris scattered near the church's entrance and a damaged military truck with a broken windshield.&nbsp;

"The motive is surely... terrorism. These are people who do not want peace," Besana said.

Five soldiers and 12 civilians were killed while 57 others were wounded, he added.&nbsp;

However, the national police chief Oscar Albayalde put the death toll at 19, with 48 people wounded.&nbsp;

"We will use the full force of the law to bring to justice the perpetrators behind this incident," Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in a statement.

The military said it airlifted some of the wounded to the nearby city of Zamboanga for medical treatment.&nbsp;

Jolo lies in the proposed Bangsamoro Muslim-majority autonomous region, which local voters overwhelmingly approved last week.

The island is also a base of the Islamist militant group Abu Sayyaf, which is blamed for deadly bombings, including an attack on a ferry in Manila Bay in 2014 that claimed 116 lives in the country's deadliest terror assault.

Last week voters decisively approved a more powerful autonomous region in the Philippines' south, which is hoped will bring peace and development after decades of fighting that have killed thousands and mired the area in poverty.

Sulu province -- which includes Jolo -- voted against the creation of the new region, with its governor questioning the law establishing the area before the Supreme Court.&nbsp;

Despite Sulu's vote, legislation provides that the province will still be included in the new political entity as voters from across the current autonomous region voted in favour of it on the whole.

Sunday's bombing comes after a New Year's eve blast in the southern Philippine city of Cotabato killed two people and wounded 35 others.&nbsp;

17 dead as two bombs hit Philippines church

The suspect in<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/one-killed-in-high-rise-building-explosion-in-china-192736"> twin blasts</a> which rocked a high-rise in northeast China on Friday killed himself by igniting explosive material, local authorities said Saturday.

Officials had said Friday that the blasts had killed one person and injured another.

The suspect, identified by his surname Guo and part of his first name Tao, first killed another man with whom he had an economic dispute in nearby Songyuan city before driving to Changchun city where he rented an apartment, the city's Chaoyang district public security bureau said in a statement posted on social media.

In an underground garage of the Wanda Plaza in Changchun, Guo blew up his car, police said.

Afterwards, at his 30th-floor apartment, Guo "ignited self-controlled explosive material" and died, police said.

People were evacuated from buildings surrounding the Wanda Plaza building on Friday and social media footage showed people fleeing on the crowded road abutting the Wanda building.

Guo, 56, had cancer and was "profoundly pessimistic", police said, adding follow-up work on the case was continuing.

Violent crime has been on the rise in China as the nation's economy has boomed in recent decades and the gap between rich and poor has widened rapidly.

Studies have also described a rise in the prevalence of mental disorders, some of them linked to stress as the pace of life becomes faster and support systems wither.

Disgruntled Chinese citizens have in the past bombed local government offices and public places to try to draw attention to their grievances.

In November, a driver rammed his car into a group of children crossing a street in front of an elementary school in northeastern Liaoning province, killing five people and injuring at least 19.

The man had been contemplating suicide "due to quarrels" with his spouse before the tragedy occurred, according to a report by official news agency Xinhua.

The incident in Changchun comes just over a week before the Lunar New Year holiday, which Chinese usually welcome with firecrackers and fireworks.

China double blasts suspect killed himself before the incident: Report

Car bomb attack kills eight security force members in Afghanistan

A bomb blast early Monday damaged a building in Athens housing the headquarters of Greece's private radio and television network Skai, but there were no casualties, police said.

Anti-terrorist police opened an investigation into the attack that focused on Greek extremist groups.

Attacks targeting broadcasting groups, public companies or embassies have been frequent in Greece in recent years, and have been blamed on anarchist or far-left groups.

The coalition government led by leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras condemned the blast as &nbsp;"an attack on democracy".

Police cordoned off the neighbourhood in the Athens suburb of Neo Phaliro and evacuated the building, which contains the offices of Skai, a group owned by the Alafouzos shipping family, as well as those of Kathimerini, a centre-right daily critical of the government.

Police said the bomb was placed near a fence around the building and smashed windows on the facade.

Skai said in a statement the blast caused "major damage".

"The terrorist attack will not discourage us..," it said, accusing the government of failing to do enough to protect the media despite "recurrent threats against the station."

The minister for civil protection, Olga Gerovassili, visited the site with police.

"The democracy is not threatened," she said, and warned those who "leave the way open to terrorism or fascism."

A bomb blast early Monday damaged a building in Athens housing the headquarters of Greece's private radio and television network Skai, but there were no casualties, police said.

A bomb blast early Monday damaged a building in Athens housing the headquarters of Greece's private radio and television network Skai, but there were no casualties, police said. Anti-terrorist police opened an investigation into the attack that focused on Greek extremist groups. Attacks targeting broadcasting groups, public companies or embassies have been frequent in Greece in recent years, and have been blamed on anarchist or far-left groups. The coalition government led by leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras condemned the blast as "an attack on democracy". The homemade device went off at around 2:30am (0030 GMT), 45 minutes after an anonymous telephone warning to another TV network. Police cordoned off the neighbourhood in the Athens suburb of Neo Phaliro and evacuated the building, which contains the offices of Skai, a group owned by the Alafouzos shipping family, as well as those of Kathimerini, a centre-right daily critical of the government.

Bomb blast at Athens headquarters of media group

A motorcycle carrying explosives blew up among supporters of an Afghan election candidate on Saturday, killing at least 14 people, officials said, in the latest attack on a political rally.

Violence related to the parliamentary vote has killed or wounded hundreds of people in recent months and more militant attacks are expected ahead of Afghanistan's October 20 poll.

More than 30 people were wounded in the explosion in the northeastern province of Takhar where candidate Nazifa Yousefibek had been campaigning, provincial governor spokesman Mohammad Jawad Hejri told AFP.

Interior ministry deputy spokesman Nasrat Rahimi said most of the 14 killed were civilians.&nbsp;

"The explosives were placed in a motorcycle and detonated behind a tent where Nazifa Yousefibek was campaigning," Rahimi said.&nbsp;

Yousefibek was not hurt in the blast. No group has claimed responsibility.&nbsp;

Ambulances have been sent to the remote district of Rustaq where the attack happened, but officials also are seeking to airlift the wounded to hospitals, Hejri said.&nbsp;

Khan Jan, who told AFP he saw the explosion, said there had been a powerful blast and "a lot of people" had been killed.

More than 2,500 candidates are contesting the long-delayed legislative elections.&nbsp;

At least nine candidates have died so far, most of them in targeted killings, according to the Independent Election Commission.&nbsp;

A candidate was among eight people killed in a suicide attack in the southern province of Helmand -- a Taliban stronghold -- on October 9. No group has claimed responsibility.&nbsp;

That incident came a day after the Taliban warned candidates to pull out of the "bogus" election, describing it as a "malicious American conspiracy".

The group vowed to attack the ballot and those involved in it.

An attack on a rally in the eastern province of Nangarhar on October 2 killed 13 people and wounded more than 40. The Islamic State group claimed the attack, which the candidate survived.

Violence had been expected to escalate ahead of the poll.

Preparations for the ballot, which is a test run for next year's presidential vote, have been in turmoil for months and there has been debate about whether the vote should go ahead.

Bureaucratic inefficiency, allegations of industrial-scale fraud and an eleventh-hour pledge for biometric verification of voters threaten to derail the process, which is three years late.

Some 54,000 members of Afghanistan's beleaguered security forces will be responsible for protecting more than 5,000 polling centres on election day.

But there are concerns over how they will manage as the Taliban and the Islamic State group step up attacks across the country.

German police arrest Syrian suspected of planning bomb attack

British police made a new arrest on Monday in their investigation into a <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/islamic-state-group-claims-london-attack-20273">bomb attack on a&nbsp;London&nbsp;underground&nbsp;train</a>&nbsp;earlier this month.

The man, 20, was detained at a house in the Welsh capital Cardiff by counter-terrorism officers, London&nbsp;police said. He is the seventh man to have been arrested over the attack at Parsons Green station in&nbsp;London&nbsp;on Sept. 15 which injured 30 people.

It was Britain&#39;s fifth major militant attack so far this year.

Last Friday, teenager Ahmed Hassan appeared in court charged with attempting to murder passengers on board the&nbsp;train&nbsp;heading to central&nbsp;London&nbsp;from the southwest suburb of Wimbledon and causing an explosion likely to endanger life using the highly volatile triacetone triperoxide (TATP) - known as &ldquo;the mother of Satan&rdquo; - or another explosive substance.

The 18-year-old, from Sunbury-on-Thames, a town to the southwest of&nbsp;London, was remanded in custody until Oct. 13. The home-made bomb engulfed a carriage in flames but apparently failed to fully explode.

Two other men are still being questioned by police while three others have since been released by detectives and face no further action. Searches are still ongoing at one address in Surrey, south of&nbsp;London, and in Cardiff.

British police arrest seventh man over bomb attack on London train

Pakistani security forces blew up a market in a restive tribal region near the Afghan border to avenge the killing of an army officer in a bomb attack, the authorities said Saturday.

The market housing more than 100 shops was destroyed on Thursday in Wana, the capital of the South Waziristan region, one of the seven semi-autonomous tribal areas where the army has been battling Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants for more than a decade.

&quot;The security forces ordered the shopkeepers to leave the market, which had over 100 shops and blew it up with explosives,&quot; senior local administration official, Zafar-ul-Islam told AFP on Saturday.

An improvised explosive device (IED) killed an army major on Tuesday outside a weapons shop as the military staged a raid of the market.

Afghan national Kharoti Khan, who owned the shop, was arrested and his house demolished a day after the explosion, Islam said.

He added the market was demolished as part of a &quot;collective responsibility&quot; to curb militancy from the area.

Since 2007 the government has encouraged vigilante forces comprising tribesmen, locally known as peace committees, to defend their villages against the Taliban.

The tribal areas are off-limits to journalists and it is impossible to independently verify incidents reported by the military or militant groups.

The army launched an operation in June 2014 in neighbouring North Waziristan to wipe out militant bases in the tribal areas and bring an end to a bloody insurgency that has cost thousands of civilian lives since 2004.

As a result security has improved. Scattered attacks still take place, but fewer than previously.

According to data from the South Asia Terrorism Portal, 457 civilians and 182 security forces were killed in Pakistan from January 1 to September 11, putting 2016 on course for fewer casualties than 2015.

Last year, the country recorded its lowest number of militant-related killings since 2007, when the Pakistani Taliban was formed.

Pakistani forces demolish market in Waziristan after bomb attack kills army officer

Three soldiers and a local guard were killed today in an attack on a Turkish military convoy in the town of Bitlis in the country&#39;s troubled southeast, state-run media reported. 
 
Another six soldiers were injured in the bombing blamed on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers&#39; Party (PKK), news agency Anadolu said. 
 
The attack was carried out using a handmade bomb that detonated as the armoured vehicle drove by, the agency added. 
 
The guard killed was part of a group of local residents who cooperate with Turkish security forces in the fight against the PKK, listed as a terror group by Ankara and its Western allies. 
 
The latest attack came after three police officers were killed in an assault earlier Thursday on the police headquarters in the eastern city of Elazig. 
 
Two more policemen and a civilian were killed in another car bombing on Wednesday night in Van, another city in the east which has a mixed ethnic Kurdish and Turkish population. 
 
The PKK, which has been fighting a deadly insurgency against the Turkish state for three decades, appear to have intensified their attacks since the July 15 failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. 
 
Over 40,000 people have been killed since the group first took up arms in 1984 in a separatist rebellion led by now jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan.

Turkey hit by third bomb attack; four dead, 6 injured

Suicide bombers today attacked two army checkpoints in a former stronghold of al Qaeda in southeastern Yemen, killing five soldiers, an officer said. 
 
One bomber drove his vehicle into a checkpoint in the west of Mukalla while the second struck in the centre of the city, General Faraj Salemine told AFP, blaming the attack on &quot;terrorists&quot;. 
 
The capital of Hadramawt province, Mukalla had been under the control of al Qaeda for one year until pro-government troops backed by a Saudi-led coalition recaptured the city in April. 
 
Yemen has been gripped by a devastating conflict that escalated in March 2015 when Saudi-led air strikes began against Iran-backed Huthi rebels after the insurgents seized northern and central parts of the country including the capital, Sanaa.&nbsp; 
 
The violence has allowed extremist groups such as al Qaeda and the Islamic State group to extend their influence and launch scores of attacks on security forces. 
 
Last month, IS claimed a wave of suicide bombings targeting Yemeni troops in Mukalla that killed at least 42 people. 
 
The Pentagon said in May that a &quot;very small number&quot; of US military personnel had been deployed around Mukalla in support of pro-government forces.

Suicide bombers kill 5 soldiers in Yemen?

At least six people were killed in a double car bomb attack Wednesday targetting a military base adjoining Aden international airport in southern Yemen, according to a military source who blamed jihadists. 
 
The attackers detonated a car bomb at the entrance to the base, allowing a second vehicle to drive inside where it exploded, the source told AFP, with at least six dead among the military in an updated toll. 
 
&quot;The attackers were jihadists,&quot; the source said.

The attack came as Muslims celebrated the feast of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan. 
 
The port city of Aden is under the control of government forces who are struggling to secure it more than a year after it was taken back from Shiite Huthi rebels who have seized control of large parts of the country. 
 
Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has exploited the power vacuum created by civil conflict in the impoverished country to expand its presence in the south and southeast.
