Fresh Attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan

A bloody attack in Afghanistan, Kabul has rocked the city witnesses have said on Monday. Several large explosions were heard from the capital city.

Experts assess the attacks as a “desperate” and “ruthless” act by the Taliban, but there were also warnings that there were more attacks expected by the terrorist group.

“It’s not surprising that the Taliban do this sort of thing,” US special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke told reporters in New Delhi. “They are desperate people, they are ruthless.”

He added: “The people doing this certainly will not survive the attack, nor will they succeed. But we can expect this sort of thing on a regular basis.”
