At Least 20 Killed, 24 Injured in Car Bomb Blast in Kabul

Kabul(July 24, 2017): A powerful car bomb exploded in the morning rush hour in a western neighborhood of Kabul, killing at least 20 and wounding 24 people.

Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said the explosion early Monday morning was a suicide car bomb but he couldn’t immediately say whether there were further casualties.

However,  according to Afghan Media suicide car-bomb blast occurred near residential place of  Vice-CEO Muhammad Mohaqeq.

The area has been the scene of several attacks including the suicide attack that killed prominent Shiite Muslim cleric Ramazan Hussainzada last month.

Hussainzada was also a senior leader of Afghanistan’s Hazara community.  However, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
