The attack took place during rush hour in a neighbourhood that is home to many Shiite Hazaras Massoud Hossaini / APAt least 35 people were killed and 42 injured when a Taliban car bomb exploded on a busy street in western Kabul early this morning. The suicide attack took place during rush hour in a neighbourhood in the Afghan capital that is home to many Shia Hazaras, an ethnic minority who have been targeted several times in the past. The car collided with a bus carrying employees from the Ministry of Mines, a local official said. Witnesses felt the ground shake and saw broken glass flying out across the main road. The scene was near the home of Mohammad Mohaqiq, a prominent Afghan politician, and the bomb reportedly detonated as the car approached the first checkpoint leading to his house.
