One policeman and six civilians were killed and 15 civilians wounded when the bomber was stopped at a security checkpoint in the Mosalla-e Mazar area of Kabul, said Najib Danesh, an interior ministry spokesman.
There was some doubt about the toll, which some witnesses said was higher than the official figure. Shah Shir Azara, a security marshal at the site, said 13 people had been killed.

War between love and hatred—
Killing innocent children still continue after 20 years war in Afghanistan. Innalillahi wsinna rajiuun
Love is the seed of peace, happiness and prosperity
Hatred is the seed of evil-violent, sorrow and poverty
Only love of God can replace hatred in human’s soul.
May God fill their heart with full of LOVE, Amen
All our love
