At least four people have been injured in Afghanistan’s eastern city of Jalalabad after armed gunmen wearing suicide vests attacked a courtroom, sources have told Al Jazeera.

In another attack on Monday, three suicide bombers attacked a car park at a police base in eastern Afghanistan, killing a guard and setting 25 trucks ablaze, oficials said
The attack on the police base in eastern Behsud district took place late on Sunday, Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, the spokesman for the provincial governor of Nangarhar province said.
