Kabul: With a deafening sound, exactly at 8.27 a.m., a perfectly calm morning suddenly turned bloody as a human bomb, alias Khalid, blasted in front of the Indian Embassy at Kabul, Afghanistan killing  a police official and 11 Afghani. Although the bomb missed any Indian present in the vicinity, it managed to shatter the embassy’s windows and doors to pieces. It also damaged the nearby Watch tower. Not only that, 3 Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel deployed outside the fortified mission were injured in the incident. The Taliban claims that it has managed to kill an interim minister whereas Indian ambassador Jayant Prasad said all his staff were safe.

The explosion comes a day after India pledged to continue to “invest and endure” in Afghanistan and asked the international community to maintain a long-term commitment to that country. Currently, India has invested $1.2 billion for the complete re-establishment of Afghanistan, making it the sixth largest bilateral donor.

President Hamid Karzai condemned it as  “a terrorist act against our innocent people”. US ambassador Timothy Roemer toldthe media in New Delhi: “Our heart goes out to India and the victims of terrorism… It is deeply troubling.”

India, meanwhile takes pride in its decision to create “high walls” around the embassy, which, in the context have helped to save the interiors of the building and also its occupants.

Meanwhile, the new suicide bombing technique that has been exposed by a recent attempt at killing an Arab high official revealed the disturbing fact that bombs are now being placed into the stomach of the bomber to avoid any detection which has startled security personnel worldwide.
