At least 14 people were killed in a suicide bombing on a gathering of Afghanistan's top clerics on Monday, police said. The bomber detonated his explosives near the entrance of a compound where over 2,000 religious scholars were meeting in the tent of the Loya Jirga, the council of elders, close to the Kabul Polytechnic University immediately after the clerics issued a fatwa against suicide bombings, the Afghan media reported.
