At least 15 military cadets have been killed in a suicide attack in Kabul, Afghan officials say, bringing the death toll of a week of attacks by various militant groups to around 200. Defence ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri said four others were wounded in the explosion at the gates of Marshal Fahim military academy, as they were leaving by minibus. The bomber was on foot. The Taliban have said they carried out the attack. It was the second suicide attack in the city in 24 hours.

On Friday, 56 people were killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack at a Shia Muslim mosque, claimed by the Islamic State group. The Sunni Muslim group did not provide evidence for its claim but it has attacked Shia mosques before.

Separately on Friday, 20 people were killed in an attack on a Sunni Muslim mosque in Ghor province. It is not clear who carried out that attack.

Afghanistan has seen a spate of suicide attacks and bombings in recent months. The country's army and police have suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the Taliban, a Sunni group who want to re-impose their strict version of Islamic law in the country.

The BBC's South Asia editor Ethirajan Anbarasan says attacks from the Taliban and other groups seem to have intensified since US President Donald Trump announced his new Afghan strategy.

After Mr Trump committed US troops to the country, the Taliban said they would turn Afghanistan into a "graveyard" for American soldiers.

Pablo Neruda 'did not die of cancer', say experts

Chilean poet Pablo Neruda did not die of prostate cancer, forensic experts have said. The Nobel Laureate was said to have died of cancer in 1973, less than two weeks after a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. But his former driver Manuel Araya maintains he actually died after being poisoned by the secret service.

New tests on Neruda's remains have now confirmed he did not die of cancer, but have yet to reveal the actual cause. Dr Aurelio Luna told a press conference the experts were "100% convinced" that the death certificate "does not reflect the reality of the death".

The poet was suffering from prostate cancer, but it was not life-threatening - leading the 16 international experts to conclude a third party could have possibly been involved.

They will now carry out tests on a toxin found in his remains, which were exhumed on a judge's orders in 2013. It could be up to a year before the results are known.

Neruda was a supporter and personal friend of Chile's deposed socialist President, Salvador Allende.

The poet died on 23 September 1973, 12 days after the military coup and three days after he had been offered asylum in Mexico. According to Mr Araya, the day he died he called to say he had been injected in the stomach while he was asleep, and to come to the hospital quickly. Neruda died that evening, and Mr Araya says he has no doubt what killed him. "Until the day I die I will not alter my story," Mr Araya told the BBC in 2013. "Neruda was murdered. They didn't want Neruda to leave the country so they killed him."

Code: 1.017.171.126German police have arrested a man in Munich after four people were lightly injured by a knife attacker.

Police said the suspect lashed out at five men and one woman around Rosenheimer Platz in the east of the city, but missed two of his targets.

A police spokeswoman said the detained man strongly resembled descriptions given by witnesses at the scene.

The suspect is said to have started attacking passers-by shortly after 06:00 local time (04:00 GMT).

"We have arrested a person who very strongly resembles the description by witnesses, but we cannot confirm that he is the attacker," Munich police spokesman Marcus da Gloria Martins said.

Martins added that police had not been able to establish any motive for the attack. None of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries.

Witness accounts described the suspect as a man in his 40s, unshaven, with grey trousers and a green tracksuit top and carrying a backpack and sleeping mat.

Police said he fled the scene on a bicycle.

Colombia will never be able to fully eradicate coca cultivation or cocaine trafficking, but it can and must reduce these scourges for the sake of its own people, economic development and environment.

As long as demand for cocaine is high there will be a supply. Demand has been high, not just from the US; is insane to blame Colombia for America's excessive drug habit.

The UN, however, did listen and became actively involved in Colombia's attempt to try an entirely different strategy in December last year when a peace process with the FARC came into force.

The war on drugs then ended, but I do not think many in the United States noticed. The country has been sadly been consumed by internal division and you've lost track of what's happening elsewhere in the world.

There are almost 30 days in which, according to the Colombian government, there have been no incidents with the ELN guerrilla group

The main negotiator of the national government, Juan Camilo Restrepo, made the announcement from Quito, where representatives of the government and the guerrillas had been negotiating peace since February.

Last Thursday, September 28, the United Nations Security Council also approved a request from the government and the ELN to monitor the ceasefire that was announced as part of the agreement. The guerrillas agreed not only to end hostilities against security forces and public property. but also to stop the kidnapping and the recruitment of minors.

The demobilization and disarmament of the FARC and the ceasefire with the ELN effectively suspend the armed conflict that has paralyzed the country for more than half a century.
However, the progress in both peace processes has not ended with the political violence in the country; The military has not been able to take over the old territory of the FARC in a timely manner, which allows other illegal armed groups to fill the void.
