Afghanistan: More than 60 killed in the bloodiest attack in the last decade

At least 160 were injured after a bomb located in the heart of Kabul.

A suicide bomber on Tuesday attacked a Shiite Muslim shrine in Kabul, killing at least 60 people in an unprecedented act of violence, a day after Afghanistan's Western allies pledged to continue supporting the country once their soldiers they retire.

Doctors and police tried to count the dead in one of the bloodiest attacks in the Afghan capital since the fall of the Taliban government in 2001.

There were bodies and blood in the street after the explosion in the heart of old Kabul, where hundreds of people had gathered for the feast of Ashura. There were at least 160 wounded.
