As many as eight journalists and four policemen are said to be among more than two dozen people killed as two explosions rocked the Afghan capital Kabul during the morning rush hour on Monday.
The number of confirmed casualties has risen quickly. A police spokesman has said at least 25 people died and another 45 were wounded.
The journalists were struck by the second blast, which happened after they had rushed to the scene to cover the first explosion.
Among the dead is the chief photographer for the AFP news agency, which has named him as Shah Marai. The others were cameramen and reporters working for Afghan media.
The explosions are said to have occurred close to government buildings: the NDS intelligence service, and the headquarters of the ministry of urban development and housing.
Police spokesman Hashmat Stanekzai said the first suicide bomber was on a motorbike while the second pretended to be among the media rushing to the scene, before detonating his explosives.
