In Afghanistan, a cousin and key ally of outgoing President Hamid Karzai has been killed in a suicide bomb attack in the southern city of Kandahar. Hashmat Karzai served as a campaign manager for Ashraf Ghani, one of two candidates in Afghanistan’s disputed presidential election. Preliminary results showed Ghani won the vote, but his opponent Abdullah Abdullah has claimed fraud, and a U.S.-brokered audit is underway.
