28 Killed, 141 Hurt In Suicide Blast Near Indian Embassy In KabulBy gaurav12sep, Section Suicide Bombers
An Afghan health official says 28 people have been killed and 141 wounded in a suicide car bomb attack outside the Indian Embassy in central Kabul.
Public Health Ministry spokesman Abdullah Fahim says the casualties include civilians and security forces.  Afghan police secure the site of a suicide car bomb blast in Kabul. The car bomb struck the Indian Embassy in the Afghan capital of Kabul. The bomb exploded during rush hour Monday near the Indian Embassy, which is across the street from Afghanistan's Interior Ministry on a tree-lined street in central Kabul. Dozens of Afghan men line up outside the embassy every morning to apply for visas to India. While Afghanistan has seen increasing violence in recent months, Kabul has been largely spared from random bomb attacks that Taliban militants use in their fight against Afghan and international troops. In September 2006, a suicide bomber near the gates of the Interior Ministry killed 12 people and wounded 42 others. After that blast, additional guards and barriers were posted on the tree-lined street.HTC
