Abdullah backers pull down Hamid Karzai poster

Afghan presidential contender Abdullah Abdullah has claimed victory in last month's poll, despite results giving a lead to his rival, Ashraf Ghani.

Addressing supporters in Kabul, Mr Abdullah repeated claims that the election process was marred by fraud.

The BBC's Karen Allen was at the rally, where supporters pulled down a poster of outgoing leader Hamid Karzai.
