A prominent female Afghan MP survived an attack by a suicide bomber near the parliament in Kabul on Sunday.
Three civilians were killed and 22 others were injured in the attack on Shukria Barakzai's vehicle and car convoy.
Official reports said that the attacker detonated an explosives-packed car that badly damaged Barakzai's vehicle and shattered nearby windows on the main road in the west of the city.
Television footage showed a clearly shaken Barakzai walking away from her wrecked car, while other passengers were covered in blood.
The Afghan Interior Ministry confirmed that the MP had suffered small injuries, but was fine overall, the Nation reports.
