Suicide bombers kill three, wound dozen in Afghanistan
Kabul, (MILLAT ONLINE):At least three people were killed and more than a dozen wounded in multiple suicide bombings in Afghanistan on
Saturday, officials said, the latest in a series of attacks in the war-torn country.
One suicide bomber detonated his explosives near the diplomatic area of Kabul during the morning rush
hour, killing at least one person and wounding six others, interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish told AFP.
A security source who requested not to be named said the explosion happened near a compound
belonging to the National Directorate of Security (NDS), the Afghan intelligence agency. The NDS compound
is located near the NATO headquarters and the US embassy.
“I was driving nearby when I heard a big explosion, the windows of my car were smashed. I saw
several wounded people on the street near me,” a witness told Tolonews TV adding that security forces
swarmed the area, closing off the main road leading to the attack site.
In December, a suicide attacker on foot blew himself up near the same compound, killing at least six
civilians.
