AFP - At least two Afghan guards were killed Monday in a suicide bombing at the entrance of a shopping center in Kabul, said on television, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry.
The bomber had driven his explosives belt when he was stopped by guards at the entrance of the Kabul City Center, said Zemaraï Bashary the private Tolo television channel.
"Two guards were killed and others wounded.There is only one attacker who blew himself up, "he added.
"Two guards of the mall were killed and two others were injured," he confirmed on site to the press on police chief of Kabul, Mohammad Ayoub Salang.
A senior city police had earlier said that several armed men stormed the Kabul City Center, and that an explosion had been heard.
Ten days ago, a suicide attack claimed by Taliban insurgents had killed eight people in a supermarket in the center of the capital, in an area close to many embassies where many Westerners live.
If security in the Afghan capital has generally improved over the past two years, Kabul is still the target of bombings and attacks often claimed by the Taliban and specifically targeting Afghan and international forces and foreign civilians sometimes.
