Death toll from a massive blast claimed by the Taliban in Afghan capital Kabul rises to 16 people – official
Afghan men carry an injured girl into the hospital after a large explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, September 2, 2019. Afghan officials say a large explosion in Kabul has targeted the Green Village compound, home to several international organisations and guesthouses.
Earlier, Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed that the target of the blast was the Green Village compound, which houses several international organisations and guesthouses. The explosion sent a plume of smoke into the night sky over Kabul and caused a nearby gasoline station to burst into flames. Monday’s latest blast occurred during the final minutes of a nationally televised interview with Khalilzad on what a US-Taliban deal might mean for Afghanistan’s future.
Shaken Kabul residents question whether any agreement with the Taliban can be trusted, especially as foreign troops withdraw. “We have reached an agreement with the Taliban in principle but of course until the US president agrees with it, it isn’t final,” Khalilzad told TOLO news.
