 An explosion in the Afghan capital, Kabul, has wounded six people while fighting in the south of the country killed 12 members of the Taliban. The lunch time bomb blast on Tuesday occurred near the presidential palace and various ministries. Yousuf Stanizai, a spokesman for the interior ministry, blamed "enemies of the Afghan people" for the lunch time blast in the crowded city centre. The bomb was in a vendor's push cart. Six people were admitted to hospital, five in serious condition, said Abdullah Fahim, a ministry of health official. Several people had superficial wounds, he said. The blast shattered windows in the justice ministry and damaged several cars. No one claimed responsibility for the explosion. |
