KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – A senior Afghan official says a suicide bomber in his teens has attacked a high-school in the capital, Kabul, killing at least one person and wounding 15.

Acting Interior Minister Mohammad Ayoub Salangi says the attack took place on Thursday at the Esteqlal High School, one of Afghanistan’s oldest and most prestigious secondary colleges. He says the attacker was about 16 years old.

The French Cultural Centre was hosting a music performance at the time of the attack.

The nationality of the casualties was not immediately clear. The French Embassy said that all French citizens were safe.
