KABUL, Afghanistan – A powerful explosion rocked an upscale neighborhood of Afghanistan s capital Tuesday in an attack that apparently targeted the country s acting defense minister. At least 10 people were wounded, a health official said.
Interior Ministry spokesman Mirwais Stanekzai said it appeared the guesthouse of acting Defense Minister Bismillah Khan Mohammadi was targeted in the attack. His Jamiat-e-Islami party was told the minister was not in the guesthouse and his family had been safely evacuated.
Details of the attack were sketchy even as it ended, but it appeared that gunmen had entered the area after the explosion. Stanekzai said three attackers were killed by security personnel. It was unclear whether the wounded were hurt in the explosion or by gunfire.
