(27 Jan 2018) A suicide car bomber killed at least 40 people and wounded about 140 more in an attack claimed by the Taliban in Afghanistan's capital on Saturday.
The attacker used an ambulance to get through a security checkpoint, telling police he was taking a patient to a nearby hospital, according to a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry.
The attacker then detonated his explosives at a second checkpoint.
The Health Ministry said 40 were killed and about 140 wounded.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack near the government's former Interior Ministry building and the European Union and Indian consulates.
The bombing came just a week after Taliban militants killed 22 at an international hotel in the city.
At least 41 people were killed on 28 December in an attack on a Shiite cultural centre in Kabul, claimed by the Islamic State group.
