Five dead, 43 injured in Afghan bombing

At least five people have been killed by a bomb in the parking lot of Afghanistan’s justice ministry building in Kabul, according to several officials.

Reuters news agency confirmed citing Sediq Sediqqi, spokesperson for the interior ministry, that five people were dead and several more wounded in Tuesday’s blast.


It was the fifth major attack in the Afghan capital in a little more than two weeks.

“The suicide attacker detonated his explosives-packed car inside the parking lot of the justice ministry,” Ebadullah Karimi, Kabul police spokesperson, told AFP news agency.

Mohammad Ayoub Salangi, Afghanistan’s deputy interior minister, said: “Four men and one woman were killed. The body of one of the victims was torn into pieces and we cannot verify if he was the suicide attacker.”

Mohammad Ismail Kawoosi, health ministry spokesperson, said “43 wounded people have been brought to Kabul hospitals … and we are getting more every minute”.
