2 Killed, 32 Wounded in Kabul Suicide Blast
2011-01-13
[Tolo News] At least two were killed including an Afghan intelligence staff and 32 other people were maimed in a suicide kaboom in Kabul on Wednesday morning, officials said.

The incident happened at around 08:00 am in Serahi Alauddin area when a jacket wallah rammed his cycle of violence into a bus carrying government employees.

Describing the Kabul suicide kaboom as inhuman and brutal act, President Karzai strongly condemned the attack in a statement released by his office later on the day.

Officials said the bus was carrying employees of National Directorate of Security.

The maimed were immediately rushed to Isteqlal hospital which is very near to the site of the incident.

Suraya Dalil, Acting Minister of Public Health who was at Isteqlal hospital, told TOLOnews that the 32 maimed people were admitted to the hospital.

"One died of his wounds, and one more patient is in a critical condition," she added.

It is not yet clear how many of the maimed are ordinary civilians.

Mrs Dalil said the number of casualties may rise as three other ambulances were on the way to the hospital.

Taliban has taken responsibly for the incident.
