The death toll from a massive blast claimed by the Taliban in Kabul has risen to 16 people — all civilians — with scores more wounded, an official said Tuesday.
“Sixteen killed, 119 wounded in last night’s attack. The explosion was caused by a tractor filled with explosives,” interior ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi said.
A massive explosion rocked central Kabul on September 2 in a Taliban-claimed attack near an international complex while the US special envoy leading talks with the insurgents visited the Afghan capital.
