BBC: Afghanistan: Deadly suicide bombing outside foreign ministry
A suicide bomb attack outside the Afghan foreign ministry in Kabul has caused heavy casualties.
Police said at least five civilians had been killed but another Taliban official put the toll as high as 20.
The attack took place about 16:00 local time (11:30 GMT) when the bomber tried, but failed to enter the ministry building itself, the Taliban said.
No group has claimed responsibility. Several countries, including Turkey and China, have embassies in the area.
Reports suggest a Chinese delegation was due to hold talks with the Afghan officials inside the foreign ministry building at the time of the attack.

Border states will never be secure. Their lot is to be meddled with as pawns.
It was probably ISIS.
There is probably not much the Taliban can do to stop ISIS totally
ISIS will keep recruiting to refill the ranks.
The Taliban could have been living more prosperously in a free country, but they chose to be shitheads supported by Pakistani intelligence.
Now they can live in a bloody, paranoid theocratic police state never knowing if the ISI still supports them or is playing both sides.
