Two blasts were reported in Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul on Monday during parallel presidential inauguration ceremonies.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani was sworn in for a second term on Monday but his main rival for the top job refused to recognize the inauguration, holding his swearing-in ceremony as a rival president. Kabul
Television footage showed Ghani taking an oath at the Presidential palace in Kabul at a ceremony attended by several foreign diplomats, including US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.
Presidential candidate and rival in a disputed election Abdullah Abdullah held his ceremony at a similar time, suggesting talks between the two camps and Khalilzad aimed at brokering an agreement had not been successful. Levant
