An Afghan official said Saturday that dozens are feared dead or wounded in an explosion at a wedding hall in Kabul. Interior Ministry spokesman Nusrat Rahimi told The Associated Press there is no immediate information on the cause of the blast, which occurred on a busy Saturday night.
Rahimi said the blast occurred at the Dubai City wedding hall in western Kabul, a part of the city that many in the minority Shiite Hazara community call home.
The explosion shattered more than a week of calm in the Afghan capital. Ten days ago a Taliban car bomb aimed at Afghan security forces ripped through a busy west Kabul neighborhood in the same district, killing 14 people and wounding 145. Most were civilians.
