Six people were killed and 87 others hurt Saturday as explosions erupted during the funeral of a protester killed here a day earlier in anti-government demonstrations, a Health Ministry spokesman told CNN. Germany said an Afghan guard had been killed at its embassy, which was "in the immediate vicinity" of the attack, while several other countries also reported damage to their missions. The country’s chief executive, Abdullah Abdullah, was present at the funeral but escaped unhurt, along with Mr. Izadyar’s father and several other prominent political figures that are part of the country’s influential mostly Tajik Jamiat-e Islami political party.
