KABUL -- Two loud explosions rocked the Afghan capital of Kabul on Tuesday, causing as yet an undetermined number of casualties.

 

The target of the blasts was probably an area that includes government and lawmakers' offices, according to Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the Interior Ministry. The first explosion, carried out by a suicide bomber, was quickly followed by a second, caused by car bomb parked near the same site, he said.

 

Sediqqi said there were casualties but that exact numbers remain unclear. Public health ministry spokesman Ismail Kawasi only confirmed that three wounded civilians were brought to hospital.

 

Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the Kabul attacks.
