KABUL (Reuters) - A Taliban suicide blast in the center of Kabul killed at least 10 people and wounded more than 40 on Thursday, destroying cars and shops in an area near the headquarters of Afghanistan’s NATO force and the U.S. embassy, officials said.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack even as the insurgents and U.S. officials have been negotiating a deal on a U.S. troop withdrawal in exchange for Taliban security guarantees.
"At least 10 civilians have been killed and 42 injured were taken to hospitals," said Nasrat Rahimi, a spokesman for the interior ministry.
Video footage and photographs posted on social media showed several cars and small shops torn apart by the blast at a checkpoint on a road near the NATO office and U.S. embassy. Police cordoned off the area.
Witnesses said the suicide bomber blew himself up as many people were standing nearby or crossing the road.
Besmellah Ahmadi said he suffered minor wounds and sought shelter in a shop.

Gunmen have shot and killed two Somali government soldiers in separate attacks in the capital, according to the sources.

The Indian Army had arrested 2 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists- Khalil Ahmad and Mozam Khokar, both from Pakistain. They were caught while trying to enter India through the Jammu and Kashmir border.
It's a video confession of Khalil Ahmed. He admits to being part of a group trained by BAT commanders in the 'Stain. And about the presence of a hundred or so more jihadis waiting to cross the border.
We don't really need the PR at this time, but the diplomatic authorities may have thought it could be of significance when Pakistain is constantly buzzing about 'the Indian Nazi Monsters and the poor muslims ! Oh the poor muslims.. !'
[DAWN] The mayor of occupied Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... 's biggest city Srinagar, Junaid Azim Mattu, was put under house arrest on Tuesday for criticising New Delhi's decision to revoke Article 370 and for saying that many people were unable to communicate with their families due to the lockdown, Indian news website The Quint reported.
According to NDTV, Mattu was placed under house arrest after returning from Delhi, where he had gone for medical treatment. The report added that the mayor's movement had previously been restricted following the Indian government's decision to unilaterally revoke Article 370 of its constitution, which granted special autonomy to occupied Kashmir.
Prior to being placed under house arrest, in an interview with NDTV on Monday, Mattu had said that "while there may not be any bodies littering the streets of Kashmir", it would be "highly unrealistic" to assume that it had returned to normal.
"Containing a sentiment in the aftermath of a radical decision by enforcing a clampdown doesn't mean that the situation is normal. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government's policy of detainment seems to be a purely operational one," he was quoted as saying.
"There are still a lot of families that haven't been able to communicate with their loved ones," the mayor added.

What do they need communication for ? They supported the burning of schools and libraries, the bombing of hospitals and police stations, the killing of teachers and students.
They're the ones who wanted to live in a medieval state. In medieval states you don't have internet. You walk to deliver a message.

According to IGP Butt, a female was among the gunnies killed. He said that their bodies have been shifted to Civil Hospital Quetta for post-mortem examination.
Another security official, who declined to be named, said the dead gunnies were involved in a series of assassinations and bomb explosions in Balochistan.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A Ottoman Turkish military convoy has reportedly made it to the observation post in Morek, northern Hama following agreement with the Russian forces.
The Ottoman Turkish military convoy is laden with food and non-military supplies destined for the Ottoman Turkish servicemen inside the Syrian government-controlled town of Morek.
According to reports, the Russian military police is deployed around the Ottoman Turkish observation post.
The Syrian Army, supported by Russian air force, has managed to oust jihadi faceless myrmidons from the entire northern Hama countryside following the recapture of Khan Shaykhoun last month.
Earlier, Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry front man said that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... will maintain its presence at the ninth observation post in the Syrian town of Morek despite the Syrian army regaining control over the city of Khan Sheikhoun, located in the country’s northwestern Idlib province.
"The ninth observation post in the town of Morek remains in its initial point despite the city’s fall. The Syrian army regained control of the city of Khan Sheikhoun," Aksoy said.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Four members of the Syrian Army, including an officer, were maimed today when a roadside kaboomwent kaboom! in southern Syria.
According to reports, the bomb was planted by unknown murderous Moslems somewhere in the town of Zaizoun located northwest of Daraa on the Syrian-Jordanian borders.
The injured soldier were immediately taken to a nearby hospital to receive the appropriate treatment.
Attacks on Syrian Army personnel and checkpoints have significantly increased since the Syrian forces took over the entire former rebel bastion of Daraa.
Last Saturday, a number of soldiers were killed and injured when an bomb went off near their vehicle in the road between al-Karak and al-Ghariyah al-Sharqiyah.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Two jihadi forces of Evil were torn into pieces by an artillery strike made by the Syrian forces in southern Idlib in retaliation for Islamist bad boys’ recurrent breaches for the latest ceasefire.
The slain jihadists were making their own video while touring the town of al-Tah, located in the eastern countryside of Maarat al-Numan in southern Idlib.
Al-Tah is currently under the control of the National Front for Liberation; a rebel coalition which is part of the so-called Syrian Free Army fighting the Syrian government forces in north and northwestern Syria.
The Syrian Army has recently extensively deployed surveillance drones to detect and track the turbans’ positions and hideouts in the area.
Yesterday, jihadi groups in Idlib have breached the agreed-on ceasefire implemented since August 30 by attacking the Russian air base in Latakia with armed drones.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Israeli shock drones allegedly attacked the Syrian military and their Iranian allies this week near the border city of Albukamal in the Deir Ezzor Governorate, the Russian aviation publication Avia.Pro reported.
According to Avia.Pro, the Israeli drones launched a series a rocket attacks on the city of Albukamal, causing some damage to the Syrian, Hezbollah, and Iranian military sites.
“About a day ago, Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles launched a series of rocket attacks on the Syrian settlement of Albukamal, where the Russian military had previously been spotted. It is known that the target of the Israeli attack was members of the Hezbollah organization, but the Russian military was previously seen in the area,” the publication claimed.
“This is not the first time that Israel attacks the eastern part of Syria using unmanned aerial vehicles. There is no official confirmation of this, but experts believe that Israeli drones did strike from Syrian airspace,” they continued.
Al-Masdar has reached out to the Syrian military regarding this alleged attack; however, they said their forces reported no strikes on their positions in the Albukamal District of Deir Ezzor.
The Israeli Armed Forces were recently targeted by Hezbollah along Lebanon’s southern border; this prompted a fierce exchange of hostilities over the weekend.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Turkish-backed militants from the National Liberation Front released a statement on Wednesday that claimed several Russian Special Forces personnel were killed or wounded in eastern Idlib this week.
According to the National Liberation Front’s statement, a number of Russian Special Forces personnel were wounded or killed this week when they attempted to sneak behind enemy lines at the town of Aajaz in the eastern countryside of the Idlib Governorate.
The National Liberation Front said their forces managed to carry out a successful ambush that thwarted this infiltration attempt by the Russian Special Forces.
Social media activists from the Syrian opposition alleged that at least nine members of the Russian Special Forces were killed during the botched operation in eastern Idlib.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has not commented on these latest allegations from the Turkish-backed rebels.
There have been reports of Russian Special Forces personnel carrying out missions behind enemy lines in the Idlib and Hama governorates in August; however, very little is known about their activity.
The first report of a Russian operation behind enemy lines was claimed in early August, when a group of soldiers reportedly ambushed a contingent from the militant group Liwaa Suqour Al-Sham near the town of Al-Latamnah in northern Hama.
