KABUL (SW): A horrendous blast caused by a suicide bomber using an improvised ambulanced outside the Ministry of Interior compound rocked the capital Kabul on Saturday killing over 100 people and leaving behind horrific tales.
Hours after the brazen Taliban-claimed attack, public hospitals in the city were overwhelmed with wounded victims with missing limbs, and their traumatized friends and relatives eager to know about their loved ones. The desperate sighs and cries of so many anxious mothers and fathers gripped by the shock made life stop in the surroundings of public hospitals.
Images of the victims of this carnage from Kabul soon reached each corner of the world via the social and mainstream media.
Among all the gloomy and heartbroken friends and relatives were also those unfortunate people who were still looking for clues about their missing loved ones.
In the Sardar Dawood Khan Publilc Hospital, a doctor allowed me to talk to a wounded survivor of the massacre. Bashir, a Kabul resident, sustained wounds on his back. He was happy with the health services provided at this public hospital. “It was horrifying, horrifying”, he said multiple times.
Gul Para, another victim of the suicide car bombing, was resting on another bed. “Moments after I had my first bit for lunch, I lost my conscious following the massive blast, and when I regained my conscious, bodies were laying all over”.
The Ministry of Interior has confirmed 103 lives are lost and 235 people got wounded in this attack at the MoI close to the Jamhoriat Hospital.
This is not the first incident of the sort, the capital has witnessed a number of deadly assaults of late claiming multiple lives.
