Social Media Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 A suicide bomb attack outside the Afghan foreign ministry in Kabul has caused heavy casualties. Police said at least five civilians had been killed but another Taliban official put the toll as high as 20. The local offshoot of the Islamic State group, known as Isis-K, claimed it carried out the attack. It comes after recent blasts targeting foreign interests. Several countries, including Turkey and China, have embassies in the area. The attack took place about 16:00 local time (11:30 GMT) when the bomber tried, but failed to enter the ministry building itself, the Taliban said. "I saw the man blowing himself up," said Jamshed Karimi, a driver who was waiting outside the ministry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
