Indian embassy in Kabul attacked


A suicide bomber has attacked the gates of the Indian embassy in Kabul, killing 41 people and injuring 141 others. Five embassy personnel were killed, including India's defence attache, a senior diplomat. Two diplomats were also killed in the Indonesian embassy nearby.


No group has admitted the attack, which is the biggest in Kabul since 2001. President Karzai said the attackers did this to rupture relations between India and Afghanistan. Condeming the attack, the Indian government said that this attack would not change its commitment to the people of Afghanistan.
