Suicide blast in Justice Ministry of Kabul kills 5, injures 42 – Taliban claims responsibility

#Kabul #Taliban #suicidebomber #Afghanistan Suicide bomb attacks continues unabated in Afghanistan and in the latest such attack, a suicide bomber exploded his devices in the car park of the Justice Ministry in the diplomatic area of Kabul and killed five people while 42 others have been injured.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 20 May 2015.

Responsibility of the attack has been claimed by the Taliban – they have vowed to kill more “slave” judges and prosecutors.
As indicated by Deputy Interior Minister Mohammad Ayoub Salangi, four men and one woman were killed in the attack and one of those killed could be the suicide bomber but that is difficult to confirm because the body was torn into pieces.
In the recent past, the number of attacks have gone up. It may be recalled that last week, three people were killed when a suicide bomber attacked a bus that was transporting employees of the Attorney General’s office. Later, on Sunday, a car bomb went off near Kabul airport and struck a vehicle of the European Union’s police advisory mission killing three people. Moreover, the Taliban had also carried out an attack on a Kabul guest house in which 14 people died.
