Jalalabad - An explosion at a funeral in Afghanistan's restive east on Sunday killed at least 18 mourners and wounded another 13, officials said, capping a deadly year for ordinary Afghans.
There was no immediate claim of responsiblity for the blast which authorities initially said was caused by a suicide attacker but now believe was triggered by explosives attached to a motorcycle.
The Taliban said on Twitter they had nothing to do with the incident - the latest violence to claim the lives of civilians in the war-torn country.
...The explosion happened during the funeral ceremony for a former governor of Haska Mina district who died recently of natural causes, a statement from the governor's office said.
18 dead in attack on Afghan funeral
Which they are now thinking is Daesh.
