KABUL, AFGHANISTAN. (THECOUNT) — A large explosion has been heard in the Afghanistan capital near the U.S. Embassy shortly after midnight on the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States.
A plume of smoke rose early Wednesday over Kabul. An embassy employee reached by phone confirmed the blast but had no details.
It would be the first major attack in the Afghan capital since President Donald Trump abruptly called off U.S.-Taliban talks on the brink of an apparent deal to end America’s longest war.
