A suicide bomb was detonated near the German Embassy in Kabul during rush hour Wednesday morning, killing 80 people close to a highly secure diplomatic area, Afghan officials said.

The bomb, concealed in a water delivery truck, detonated at 8:22 a.m. (local time) outside the offices of a major local cellphone company and a popular TV station. It hit about 400 yards from the German Embassy in one of the busiest parts of town, near big supermarkets and shops.
The Taliban denied responsibility for the attack in a statement. No group has yet claimed it.

Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Donati, in Kabul said the explosion happened close to western embassies, government institutions and the residences of high-ranking officials and their families. It's most fortified part of the city, which can only be reached by passing through several checkpoints, she added.

The BBC has confirmed that BBC Afghan driver Mohammed Nazir, who had worked with the broadcaster for four years and had a young family, died in the blast. Four BBC journalists were also injured, but their injuries are not thought to be life threatening, according to a BBC World Service statement.

Awful news.....

Terrible, with so many injured the amount of deaths will probably rise.
Cowardly terrorists, killed and injured too many so they won't put their hands up to it.
Disgusting scum.

Another attack and explosion in the most holy month of Ramadan by so called Muslims. Not sure why I'm surprised. These are the same people that bomb their own house of worship for the sake of Power and Fear.
