Several Protesters Killed at Kabul Bomb Site

A protest on Friday that began at the site of a huge bombing in Kabul earlier this week and made its way to the gates of the Afghan presidential palace turned deadly, with security forces firing into the air to disperse angry crowds trying to get inside.


At least six people were killed and several others were wounded, according to protesters and witnesses at Emergency Hospital, one of Kabul’s main trauma centers.

The Kabul police chief, Gen. Hassan Shah Frogh, said some of the protesters were carrying weapons and had fired at the police, wounding four officers. “Police also fired, and only one or two protesters may be wounded,” he said.

General Frogh added that Salem Izidyar, the son of the deputy speaker of the senate, had been killed among the protesters, The New York Times reported.
