Seven Dead, Seven Wounded in Kabul Car Bombing

VOA News

   Seven people are dead after a car bomb detonated outside of government
   offices in the Afghan capital of Kabul Wednesday.

   Officials say seven others were wounded in the bombing, which was
   centered near the interior ministry headquarters.

   So far, there has been no claim of responsibility for the attack, which
   came a day after the Afghan government released three high-ranking
   Taliban leaders in exchange for two Westerners, an American and
   Australian, who have been held hostage by the Islamic insurgent group
   since 2016.
