20 Killed at Afghan Wedding

Officials in northern Afghanistan say at least 20 people were killed when a gun battle erupted at a wedding in Baghlan province. Ten people were wounded in the incident late Sunday when armed members of rival groups who were attending the wedding opened fire.  The Associated Press reports most of the dead were wedding guests between the ages of 14 to 60, and that hostilities between the two groups involved in the gunfight had been simmering for many years.
