Kabul bomb attack kills three and injures 79 in Afghan capital | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A suicide bombing has killed at least three people and injured 79 others in the centre of Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, officials say. | |
It happened near the old interior ministry building, which is close to the offices of the European Union and the High Peace Council. | |
The Taliban have said they carried out the attack. There are reports an ambulance was used to hide the bomb. | |
A week ago, Taliban militants killed 22 people in a luxury Kabul hotel. | |
Witnesses say the area - home to foreign embassies and the city's police headquarters - was crowded with people when the bomb exploded. Plumes of smoke were seen from around the city. | |
