Afghanistan ’s former prime minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar narrowly avoided an assassination attempt after his office in Kabul was targeted by suicide bombers.
One person was killed and several guards were injured, but security managed to shoot the attackers dead before they entered the building, which also houses a mosque.
Hekmatyar, a former warlord and Mujahadeen leader, said the attackers wore explosive suicide vests and were dressed in burqas.
