Several other civilians were hurt in the explosion on a main road near the entrance of the Eidgah mosque, officials said. Taliban commanders were seen giving blood at a hospital treating the wounded but media access was tightly controlled. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed the attack had taken place but did not comment on reports from other officials in the movement that the mosque had been holding prayers for his mother who had died recently. A Taliban soldier who said he saw the explosion said two people were killed and eight wounded. Suicide attacks, many claimed by the Taliban, killed thousands of civilians in Kabul during the insurgency against the Western-backed government and many had hoped that the movement's victory would bring them to an end.
