Car Bomb Targets Spanish Embassy in Kabul
[Tolo News] A powerful kaboom rocked Kabul...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... city shortly before 6pm on Friday close to the Spanish Embassy. Early reports indicate a boom-mobile exploded in Sherpor area. Exact details of the target have not been divulged but Senior Deputy Interior Minister for Security Affairs Gen. Salangi said late Friday night that two jacket wallahs have been killed and one other maimed. He also said clearing operations are underway. No details have been given regarding casualties but according to eye witness accounts a number of people have been taken to hospital. Sporadic gunfire was also reported in the immediate area in the hours that followed the initial blast - including smaller kabooms thought to have been grendades. Officials said earlier that faceless myrmidons had entered a building close to the embassy and were fighting security forces. The Ministry of Interior's front man Sediq Sediqqi confirmed that a blast had occurred but did not give details. Security forces have cordoned off the area. The Taliban has meanwhile grabbed credit for the attack. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-12 |
