RFE: Afghan Vice President Saleh 'Unharmed' In Deadly Attack On His Convoy In Kabul

KABUL -- Afghan First Vice President Amrullah Saleh has escaped with only slight injuries after an apparent assassination attempt in the capital early on September 9 that killed at least 10 people.

A bomb was said to have targeted a convoy carrying the 49-year-old former intelligence chief and his son.

A video posted to Facebook after the incident showed Saleh standing next to a flag with a bandaged left hand but otherwise looking well.

"I am fine but some of my guards have been wounded," Saleh says in the clip. "My son, who was in the car with me, and I are both fine."

"I have some burns on my face and hand. The blast was strong."
