also says more than one hundred ten were injured in the attack which happened at a police checkpoint in the city on saturday morning the blast was caused by a car bombing near a foreign embassies and government buildings the taliban have claimed responsibility for the deadly and instant incident. we're talking to to hear career e it can vary excuse me in afghanistan. tara can you tell me what is the latest there. well at least nineteen people have been killed as my sources government sources tell me more than one hundred ten people were one day in a very easy attack which is explosives were placed in a mine an ambulance and then down. through the first checkpoint and exploded itself in one of the very crowded places in the capital kabul where that where you see

lots of government offices there the hate. government headquarters is there is stationery shops and loads of people especially at this time of the day where people go out to lunch so to is rising i talked to a friend of mine who say that he and. at least forty civilians brought to emergency hospital emergency hospital has called it a massacre so we're talking about a massacre that they're describing as there have been many attacks in afghanistan lately why is that. fortunately the afghan politicians on mainly the afghan government is still involved in domestic politics for getting to introduce security of the citizen i'm sure you quite a member recently the president they call them is on their speech but it is to be honest the whole afghanistan is under siege every street is under over the last one week we have a couple of you know tax more than hundreds of people have been killed that is one
