Taliban claim Kabul bank attack that killed 5
The Taliban are claiming responsibility for a suicide attack just outside a bank in the Afghan capital of Kabul, killing at least five people.
Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, posts the claim on his twitter account, saying that a Taliban suicide bomber targeted military personnel who had gathered on Tuesday at the Kabul Bank to collect their salaries ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
According to Afghan officials, along with the five killed, nine people were also wounded in the attack which happened in a busy commercial area in central Kabul, not far from the US Embassy.
