A demonstration in downtown Kabul that left several people dead has entered a second day.
More than a thousand people demonstrated yesterday demanding more security in the capital following a powerful truck bomb attack in the city that killed 90 people and wounded more than 450.
Scores of protesters passed the night under two big tents on a road near the presidential palace and the blast site. All roads toward the palace and diplomatic areas are being blocked Saturday by police and there is limited movement of vehicles and people.
Yesterday, demonstrators rushed toward police who fired warning shots and when they attempted to move closer to the palace, police sprayed them with hoses from a water tanker and later fired tear gas.
