Security forces and municipal workers move a demolished car after Tuesday’s attack in Kabul.
Five people were killed in a bomb blast in the Afghan capital, Kabul, including four doctors working in a prison with hundreds of Taliban detainees, according to police.
The explosion, a bomb mounted on the vehicle in which the victims were traveling, occurred in the southern part of the capital as doctors were on their way to their workplace in Pul-e-Charkhi prison. The fifth victim was a bystander, according to police spokesman Ferdaws Faramarz.
Kabul has been the scene of a series of deadly attacks in recent months, despite ongoing peace talks between the government and the fundamentalist Taliban movement. Among the victims are journalists, politicians and human rights activists, as well as ordinary civilians who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. On Monday, reporter Rahmatullah Nekzad, who has worked for the AP news agency since 2007, was shot and killed in Ghazni, eastern Afghanistan.
Both the Taliban and the jihadist group IS regularly carry out acts in Kabul and other parts of the country.
