At least 28 dead, over 300 wounded in Kabul attack

At least 28 people were killed and more than 300 wounded Tuesday in a coordinated attack by the Taliban that included a suicide bombing in the Afghan capital of Kabul.

A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle filled with explosives before gunmen entered a government compound where a secret service unit was protecting VIPs.

Kabul Police Chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said many of the 28 killed were civilians.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the assault, the latest in a series of attacks after announcing the beginning of its spring offensive last week.
