64 dead, 320 injured in Kabul blast

Heavy explosion ripped through rush hour traffic in diplomatic area, as a massive explosion rocked a highly secure diplomatic area of Kabul during rush hour on Wednesday morning. It Scott pulley killed at least 64 and injuring 320.


It is believed that the blast was caused by Afghanistan a suicide car bombing as it was so heavy that more than 30 vehicles were either destroyed or damaged at the site of the attack. In reality nobody knows at this moment what was the target of the attack, however most of the causalities are civilians.


Let me give you a bird’s eye view of the Kabul blast, windows were shattered, restaurants and other buildings were damaged up to a half mile from the blast site. Yes, there are a large number of causalities but nobody knows how many people are really killed or wounded.


Now no group immediately claimed responsibility for the Kabul explosion blast but both the Taliban and the Islamic state group have stated large scale attacks on afghan capital in the past. This blast comes after a massive bomb outside a popular ice cream parlor in Baghdad and a rush hour car bomb in another downtown area killed at least 31 people in Iraq.


In general KabulAfghanistan is considered as safest area with foreign embassies protected by dozens of 10 foot high blast walls and government offices, guarded by police and national security forces. Let me remind you that the German embassy, the foreign ministry and presidential palace are all in the same area.
