Kabul hospital hit by suicide bomber

This morning, a suicide bomber blasted a military hospital in the Afghan capital, Kabul, leaving six people dead and 23 wounded. The Taliban claims that they were behind this attack. The bomber set off his device in a tent on the grounds of Charsad Bestar Hospital and all of the victims were civilians and medical students. Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai berated the attack saying that it was "so ruthless and cowardly that, in contradiction of all humane and Islamic principles, they attack even hospital patients and doctors." Ironically, this hospital has treated senior Taliban and al-Queda commanders. This attack is surely only the tip of the iceberg, as the Taliban has declared the beginning of their Spring offensive against Afghan and international forces.
