Suicide Bombers Kill 19 as Hagel Visits Afghanistan

Crews use a crane to lift a damaged car in Kabul
Two suicide bombers struck in Afghanistan, on Saturday.

The attacks happened within hours of Chuck Hagel's, the new US Defense Secretary, arrival in the country.

One struck at the Afghan Defense Ministry, in Kabul, killing ten and injuring fourteen.

In Khost Province, another killed eight children and a police officer and injured a dozen.

A police officer saw him approaching a group of children, told them to get away, then hugged the bomber to try and block some of the blast.

The Taliban claimed the first attack, but avoided responsibility for the second.
