Kabul: The Taliban on Thursday claimed responsibility for the suicide attack that wounded Afghanistan’s Intelligence Chief in the capital city, Kabul.
Asadullah Khalid was wounded when the bomber struck at a guesthouse used by the National Directorate of Security (NDS) in a heavily guarded area of the capital. The intelligence agency said he had survived a “terrorist attack”.
“Asadullah Khalid was the main target. A number of spies have been killed and wounded,” said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid in a statement.
There were no immediate comments from officials on whether there were other casualties.
