Attack on Hekmatyar's Office in Darulaman Area of Kabul Leaves 1 Dead, 2 Wounded

An attack on Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's office, the leader of the Hizb-e-Islami party, resulted in one death and two injuries, Hekmatyar said.

Hekmatyar said that after the attack two suicide bombers went to enter a mosque that was near to the Hizb-e-Islami office.

The Hizb-e-Islami party's leader confirmed that the attackers were killed by his security guards before they could reach their target.

Witnesses said that the attackers entered the office area wearing a burqa, but they did not reach the target.

This incident took place at the same time as Friday's prayer.

Hamid Karzai, former president of Afghanistan, condemned the attack on Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's office in Kabul and said on Twitter that the attacks on Afghan citizens and leaders are an effort by the enemies to "weaken and divide" the country.

So far no one has claimed responsibility for the incident.
