Afghanistan fears Iraq-style militant attacks
Gee, who could have predicted this?

The United Nations says it has restricted movements of its staff in Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, after a suicide bombing killed at least 10 people.

The decision comes as the Taliban says it has 45 more suicide attackers awaiting orders to strike, arousing fears that Iraq-style tactics are being adopted by the militants.

The bombing at a military training centre set up by US-led forces to train a new national army is the worst suicide attack in Kabul since the Taliban's 2001 overthrow.
