A bomb hidden in an ambulance has killed 95 people and wounded around 158 others when it blew up in an area of the Afghan capital Kabul near foreign embassies and government buildings.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast, a week after it claimed an attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in the city in which more than 20 people were killed.
"It is a massacre," said Dejan Panic, Afghan coordinator for the Italian aid group Emergency, which runs a nearby trauma hospital. In a message on Twitter, the group said more than 70 wounded had been brought in to that hospital alone.
