Another car bomb attack occurred in the capital Kabul, Afghanistan, and killed five people, including four doctors.
Reported by the Associated Press, Tuesday (22/12), according to the spokesman of the Kabul Police, Ferdaws Faramarz, the car bomb exploded when a sedan carrying five people was passing by.
The four doctors who were in the unfortunate car were reported to be heading to their workplace at Puli Charkhi Prison, Doghabad.
It was not clear whether the doctors were indeed the targets of the bomb attacks because the car they were riding in did not have any identification.
Because of the magnitude of the bomb explosion, the car in which the victims were traveling was almost destroyed.
Faramarz said the identity of the fifth person who died was still mysterious. He added that two residents were also injured in the incident.
Until now, no party has claimed responsibility for the car bomb explosion.
