Explosion rocks Kabul, kills 1, injures 8

Kabul (Afghanistan), Aug 29 (ANI): At least one person was killed and eight were injured in an explosion in central Kabul's shopping street near U.S. embassy. The blast took place outside a bank at a time when security forces personnel were expected to collect their salaries ahead of this week's Eid holiday. It was the latest explosion to rock Kabul and comes a week after United States President Donald Trump committed American soldiers to Afghanistan indefinitely. In May, a massive truck bomb exploded in Afghan's capital diplomatic quarter, resulted killing of over 150 persons and wounding around 400 persons.
