A wedding in
Afghanistan turned deadly Sunday night when a gunfight broke out, killing 21
people, an Afghan official said.
Two armed groups got
into a dispute at the wedding in the northeastern province of Baghlan, Interior
Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said.
The dueling groups
fired on each other, Sediqqi said. But the bullets also killed guests who were
not involved in the fight.
Two teenage boys were
among the 21 killed, he said, and eight other people were wounded.
The cause of the
dispute wasn't immediately clear.
Sediqqi said the
Interior Ministry has ordered police in Baghlan to search for those involved.
