A suicide bomber is reported to have blown himself up in a military hospital canteen in the Afghan capital, Kabul, causing casualties.

An Afghan intelligence official told the BBC that two suicide attackers had got inside Charsad Bestar Hospital.

One had detonated his explosives and the other one was missing, he said.

AP news agency quotes the Afghan defence ministry as saying that at least three people have been killed, with many more wounded.

3. I didn't edit it

I cut and pasted the headline it when it broke on BBC News earlier today : control c, control v. I'm not sophisticated enough to do otherwise. As is often the case I can only assume the BBC subsequently changed their own headline.

You may have noticed that the narrative has been changed too using the same link. When I posted deaths and casualties were unknown.
