Afghanistan: Bomb blast in Kabul leaves one dead

The blast was carried out by a suicide bomber and has destroyed a bus carrying employees of one of the Afghanistan's biggest telecoms firms.

At least one person was killed and eight other injured in a bomb blast in Afghanistan's capital Kabul on Monday.

According to reports, the blast was carried out by a suicide bomber and has destroyed a bus carrying employees of one of the Afghanistan's biggest telecoms firms.

Although there is no confirmation from the agencies, reports say that the suicide bomber was on foot when the explosion took place.

No group has claimed the responsibility so far, but it is the Afghan Taliban which has been carrying out such attacks in the country over the years.

In February, at least 20 people were dead after a suicide blast outside Afghanistan's Supreme Court in Kabul.

Afghanistan security forces and its international allies have been fighting Taliban militants and other radical groups for years.
