Kabul blast kills six

Five Afghan security officials have been killed in the capital Kabul after a "terrorist" they had detained blew himself up.

The blast, at around 5.30 p.m. on Sunday, destroyed the car in which the six men were sitting just south of the city's airport.

"Altogether six people were killed," the spokesman said.

"We believe Dr. Jalal, head of (Defence Minister Mohammad Qasim) Fahim's personal security, was killed when the terrorist that was caught set off explosive devices he had attached to his body. The bodies are beyond recognition."

1. Hey Kabul was supposed to be safe!

The rest of Afghanistan has of course reverted to pre-war conditions. The Taliban gaining power and the countryside ruled by drug lords and war lords but Kabul was supposed to be different, under control.

2. Yeah, but someone explained to me

that we are only in control of Kabal, and that is only during daylight hours. So if this happened at night, it's not our fault. (sarcasm off)
