Two huge explosions shook Afghanistan's capital early Friday, leaving at least nine people dead.
A suicide bomber detonated explosives near Kabul's main shopping
centre. Several smaller blasts followed and two other attackers were
shot dead.
The blast erupted near the Safi Landmark Hotel in the neighborhood of Shahr-E-Naw, where there are a number of government buildings and U.N. offices as well as supermarkets, banks, diplomatic facilities and villas for well-to-do Afghans.
A spokesman for the Taliban said they carried out the attacks. Two policemen are reported to be among the dead.
