Afghanistan Blast: At Least 20 Killed

The Taliban claimed responsibility Saturday's assault, with reports confirming that the explosion was close to an old interior ministry building.

The incident comes a week after a Taliban-claimed attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in the city, which left 18 dead, and days after Daesh [Arabic Acronym for the terrorist "ISIS"/"ISIL"] killed at least three people at the office of Save the Children in Jalalabad.

According to reports, the blast took place at lunchtime during a "relatively calm day".

"The city was jolted with a heavy explosion," he said.

A police stated that a suicide bomber carried out the attack near heavily guarded checkpoints.

"On the left side of this checkpoint, there is a school and a high peace council," Shahood said.
