At least two people were killed and five wounded in a bomb blast that hit a minibus in Kabul on Wednesday, officials said, the latest in a series of attacks in the Afghan capital. The blast destroyed the vehicle in Dasht-e-Barchi, a Taliban official told AFP, in a suburb dominated by minority Hazara Shiites. An AFP staffer was near the scene when the bomb detonated. "I heard a huge explosion... when I looked around a minibus and a taxi were on fire," he said. IMAGES
