At least 63 people were killed and over 140 wounded after the explosion hit an area of the Afghan capital Kabul on Saturday near many foreign embassies and government buildings. The explosion occurred at the Sadarat square in center of the city, a week after a deadly attack on the Intercontinental Hotel. The blast was caused by a car bomb close to the gate of the old Ministry of Interior building in the city. #Kabul - Video shows the aftermath of a heavy explosion close to the old Ministry of Interior building in Kabul's PD2. pic.twitter.com/T03iI0qicB — TOLOnews (@TOLOnews) January 27, 2018"It is a massacre," said Dejan Panic coordinator in Afghanistan for the Italian aid group Emergency, which runs a nearby trauma hospital.
