"8년 만의 아프간 총선서 최소 67명 사망"
Almost four million people have cast their votes in Afghanistan's long-awaited parliamentary elections, which were marred by deadly militant attacks and technical glitches.
Polls opened on Saturday and closed the day after due to the security threats and logistical issues.
It was the country's first parliamentary elections in eight years and came after three years of delays due to political infighting over electoral reform measures.
Nearly 200 attacks were carried across Afghanistan by the Taliban, which had threatened to target the elections.
Nearly 70 people have been killed, including about 30 civilians, and close to a hundred others have been wounded.
