Bomb rocks India embassy in Kabul

A suicide bomber has rammed a car full of explosives into the gates of the Indian embassy in the Afghan capital, killing 41 people and injuring 141.

Five embassy personnel were killed — India's defence attache, a senior diplomat and two security guards — as well as an Afghan man.

Five Afghans died at Indonesia's embassy nearby.

No-one has admitted being behind the attack, one of the deadliest in Kabul since the Taleban overthrow in 2001.
