Meanwhile, Bismillah Khan said in a tweet after the attack that there was nothing to worry about. All is well.
Hours after the incident, Kabul residents took to the streets. Many gathered on the roof of the house. They kept shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’. These videos spread quickly through social media. The same scene was seen last Monday in the Afghan city of Herat. There is also a fierce battle between the Taliban and Afghan forces.
