Kabul: Suicide Bomber Leaves 36 Dead
Dozens have been killed in a terrorist bomb attack outside a key Afghan government building.
More than 36 died in the blast that occurred yesterday and many more were injured outside Kabul’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is believed a suicide bomber was targeting Chinese officials visiting Taliban government representatives.
It is believed the Chinese ambassador and delegation just missed the SVBIED – suicide vehicle-born improvised explosive device.
Chief suspect is the ISIS local branch Islamic State in the Khorasan, which is opposed to the Taliban’s growing links to China.
The mid-afternoon explosion was followed by peals of sirens.
Taliban security forces prevented journalists from getting close to the site, threatening them with guns and telling them to leave.
Kabul police chief spokesman Khalid Zadran said security teams have been deployed to the site and that details would be shared later.
