KABUL, Aug 07 (Xinhua): Several people were killed and more than 30 others wounded after a massive car bomb explosion ripped through a busy neighborhood at the western side of Afghanistan's capital of Kabul on Wednesday, a witness said.
"We heard a huge blast outside a district police station near Shahid Mazari Square. The whole place has now been sealed off," witness Shir Mohammad told Xinhua.
The huge blast occurred roughly at 9:00 a.m. local time, and was immediately followed by an attack by several militants.
"The nature of the incident seems to be a complex attack against the police headquarters of Police District 6. The blast also caused massive destruction," the witness added.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
A thick black smoke was seen rising above the site.
Rescue teams, police and security forces rushed to the site and shifted the wounded to the hospitals.
