Shock and anger in Kabul after ambulance bomb kills 103
There was a mix of helpless anger at the seemingly endless wave of violence after an ambulance packed with explosives blew up in a crowded city street on Saturday
Anger was growing in Kabul Sunday, a day after a huge bomb hidden in an ambulance killed 103 people and wounded scores more, highlighting the ability of insurgents to strike at the heart of Afghanistan.
US President Donald Trump called for “decisive action” against the Taliban over the assault - the second it has carried out in the city in a week - as other international leaders also condemned the attack.
“We have 95 dead and 191 wounded from yesterday’s attack in Kabul,” health ministry spokesman Waheed Majroh told reporters on Sunday.
Most of the injured were men, he added.
Ordinary Afghans took to social media to express their anguish and sorrow at rapidly worsening security, as the Taliban and the Islamic State group step up attacks on Kabul, turning it into one of the deadliest places in Afghanistan for civilians.
