Taliban Kill At Least Five People In ‘Horrifying’ Attack In Kabul.
The Taliban killed at least five people in a fresh bombing in Kabul on Thursday in yet another horrific attack on the Afghan capital as the US and the insurgents negotiate a deal to see American troops leave the country.
Farid Ahmad Karimi, general manager at Wazir Akbar Khan hospital close to the bomb site, told AFP that five bodies and 25 wounded people had been brought into the facility. Massoud Zazai, who owns a photo studio across the street from the blast site, said he was in his shop when the explosion happened.“I went out to the scene moments after the attack, the side of the road was littered with debris and bodies.”
Interior ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi said the blast had been caused by a car bomb at about 10:10 am .On Monday, at least 16 people were killed in a Taliban attack on a residential area in east Kabul. According to parts of the deal made public so far, the Pentagon would pull about 5,000 of its 13,000 or so troops from five bases across Afghanistan by early next year, provided the Taliban hew to their security pledges.
