Afghanistan swears in Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai as new president; bomb attacks kill at least a dozen

A senior adviser to President Barack Obama said the change in leadership would allow Kabul to sign a long-awaited security pact on Tuesday permitting U.S. forces to remain in the country past the end of the year.
