3 Killed as Afghanistan Blasts Target Event.
At least two blasts struck a large ceremony on Thursday attended by Afghanistan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and other leading government officials, killing three people and injuring 22 others.
The Kabul attack represents a major security breach and marks a resumption of violence in the capital after weeks of calm amid ongoing peace talks between the U.S. and Taliban in Doha.
The blasts happened during a ceremony marking the 24th anniversary of the death of Shia Hazara leader Abdul Ali Mazari that was attended by many of the country’s political elite, including Mr. Abdullah and former President Hamid Karzai. “Today around 12 noon ... mortars were fired on the gathering of Abdul Ali Mazari,” Nasrat Rahimi, acting Interior Ministry spokesman, said in a statement.
BREAKING: WhatsApp Voice Calls Used to Inject Israeli Spyware on Phones. A vulnerability in WhatsApp allows attackers to inject spyware on the victim's phones. This vulnerability has already been used by an Israeli intelligence company to inject spyware on to phones. The vulnerability exists on both iPhones and Android phones. WhatsApp claims to have a patch ready, Duta recommends that all users install them as soon as they are available. The malicious code, developed by the secretive Israeli company NSO Group, could be transmitted even if users did not answer their phones, and the calls often disappeared from call logs. WhatsApp is too early into its own investigations of the vulnerability to estimate how many phones were targeted using this method, a person familiar with the issue said.
