a huge explosion rocking kabul. afghan official describing it as a suicide attack near the german embassy. cnn ian lee has the latest and he's in its stan ball. >> reporter: this attack took place at the height of rush hour traffic when people were going to work. a large truck packed with explosives detonated killing over 80 people and we've been watching that number rise quite rapidly over the course of the morning, hundreds of people injured in this attack. the explosion taking place just hundreds of yards from the german embassy. no word on the damage to that embassy. we're hearing the french embassy was injured but chaos in the aftermath, carnage every where, burnt out cars, people bloody, walking away. one of the largest attacks bin a year to take place in kabul. this also comes as president trump considers one of the most major foreign policy decisions of his presidency, whether to spend more blood and treasure inside afghanistan by ramping up the number of troops there. some reports that it could be up to 5,0

at this location, right in the heart of kabul. it is very close to the german embassy, that indian embassy, french and british embassies. hasrter: a country that become painfully used to violence comes the scale of this attack has been a shock. most of the country was under government control in 2014 when nato ended its combat mission. since then, large swaths of territory has fallen to the taliban. the americans have 8000 troops on afghanistan. the u.k. has 500. the u.s. commanders are asking for several thousand more. had 100 50,000 military boots on the ground. that did not destroy the taliban . a few thousand more today is not going to be a solution. in the short term it will get better support and training to the afghan government and security forces, but the insurgency will still be there. therter: they're blaming taliban network, but no group is admitting to carrying out one of the worst attacks that kabul has seen. laura: our condolences to the families of all those killed and injured. we are thinking of our bbc colleague

this explosion went off in a very secure diplomatic part of kabul. perhaps the most secure in the capital. do we have any idea how this vehicle could have gotten through all of the security? clear security a and intelligence failure. oful was in a high state security alert. we saw more concrete walls, more barriers. the fact that a truck could be filled with explosives and driven all the way into an area that is not only very crowded, this is very much the heart of the capital. here, big trucks do not have permission to drive through central parts of the city during the daytime. often petty corruption, negligence, incompetence at some level that allows for this sort of attack. seen in the past infiltration where militants have been able to strike at will into the heart of the afghan government inside military hospitals and government buildings. doubt these examples of incompetence continue to cross the people of afghanistan with their lives. what is also important to mention, this attack will have a very negative impact on business. whatever business

the afghan president has condemned a truck bombing in the center of kabul. he described the attack as cowardly and said many innocent people including children lost their lives. 90 people are dead and 400 injured. no one has claimed responsibility. the taliban says it was not involved. a blast so powerful it flattened cars. it blew the windows out of buildings far away and left this crater.. the explplosion sounded l like n earthquake according to witnesses. cabal it resembled a volcano. leaving the city in disarray. the wounded were rushed away for treatment. people struggled to come to terms with one of the worst bomb attacks kabul has experienced in years. >> i was going to the office. i work for a communications company. i was in my car when the bomb exploded. >> the taliban has denied being part of the attack. it is unclear which air he was being targeted. multiple embassies are in the blast radius. and the presidential palace. medical staff worked urgegentlyo treat hundreds who were injured. everything was destroyed. lot of peoeople died. all the peopl

huge explosion rocking kabul's diplomatic quarter. afghan official describing it as a suicide attack near the german embassy. national security reporter joins us live from washington. it comes at a pivotal time. what do we know? >> reporter: this bombing killed at least 80 people and injured hundreds we're being told and as you said it took place near the german embassy. now official from the military mission, the u.s. led military mission to afghanistan said the afghan security forces prevented the vehicle borne ied from entering the green zone where most of the embassies are based. that being said some german embassy officials were injured. one afghan security guard was killed. and this all coming as the white house is weighing whether or not to send potentially thousands of more soldiers to afghanistan to kind of boost training efforts for the afghan military as they fight both the taliban and isis. not clear who conduct this bombing, the taliban and isis have both struck kabul before. this is a quite large bombing. there hasn't be

thousands have been flocking to this central stadium in kabul. you can still see many as still queueing even though the event is well under way. they are queueing to see their leader who has not been here in 20 years. they had to bypass tight security by gulbuddin hekmatyar‘s forces. gulbuddin hekmatyar‘s forces. gulbuddin hekmatyar‘s forces. gulbuddin hekmatyar has been controversial figure kabul in, gulbuddin hekmatyar has been controversialfigure kabul in, many blaming for the destruction of the city in brutal civil war but supporters hope he brings peace to the country, boosting negotiations with the taliban and given better representation of the different communities. translation: he is our leader. he has been wholly warrior and now he is the man of peace. translation: other and now he is the man of peace. translation: 0ther insurgent groups should follow gulbuddin hekmatyar's example and negotiate with gunmen that way we can achieve peace in afghanistan. i25, i do not know what he did in the past but ijudge him right now, not in the p

the area around kabul has been the most heavily hit by militant attacks. they have seen the highest number of casualties. many of them civilian, and today is no different. a large number of civilian casualties. >> do stick around. want to bring in the senior analyst for terrorism. willem was talking about the attack that could be by the taliban who at this time of year goes on the spring offensive. do we have anything on who the perpetrator could be? >> no one has claimed responsibility for the attack yesterday. kabul has been targeted in the past by the taliban and the islamic state. so there's a range of possibilities here still at this point. given the launch of the spring offensive and the high frequency of attacks in and around kabul, it is likely that the taliban may be behind this particular massive attack. >> what does this mean for security in and around that very secure zone in kabul? a lot of embassies in the area, a huge amount of check points and police sort of number there's stationed in the area. does this worry foreign embassies? we heard t

this is kabul's green zone. it's where several embassies are located, including the german and british embassies. afghan officials say a sewage tanker truck exploded just outside the german embassy's wall where several of its employees were injured and one afghan security guard was killed. at least 90 people died in the attack. more than 450 were wounded. these numbers are fluid. they continue to go up. so that could be even higher. the u.s. embassy is about half mile away from where the explosion happened. it left a 13 foot crater. 11 american contractors were wounded, but nine afghan security guards working for a u.s. security contractor were killed and one at this point, jenna, is missing. >> jenna: we'll have more on this in a moment. john, thank you very much. the pentagon, in the mean time, claiming success after testing a missile interceptor. the national security implications as tensions rise with north korea. and then there's this. a scary scene at a busy florida airport. police arrive to find a man wit

this is the scene of the huge bombing which rocked the afghan capital kabul. today we understand it was a water tanker or a lorry full of explosives which hated this strategic location right in the heart of kabul. it is very close to the german embassy, the indian embassy, the french and british embassies. it is also walking distance from the provincial palace. the police have cordoned off the area at the moment and we are not allowed to move further than this for several reasons. one of them is that there might be another attack waiting to be carried out. we understand at least 80 people have been killed, up to 400 others are hurt. some of them are very seriously. they have been taken to hospitals across the capital and they are being treated. the president has called it and act against humanity. no group has yet taken responsibility for the deadliest attack i have ever seen for the past 15 years or so. but we understand the taliban and other militant groups have increased their activities across afghanistan recently. with just over a week to go until the gen

a massive bomb at a busy kabul intersection, hitting commuters on their way to work. children on their way to school. it was a bomb so powerful it shattered windows up to a mile away, leaving a trail of horrific destruction. 0ne witness said it was like an earthquake. there were so many casualties, security vehicles had to double—up as ambulances. the afg ha n had to double—up as ambulances. the afghan government said hospitals in the capital were in dire need of blood. translation: i was working in the office when a powerful blast happened. i collapsed under the desk and received injuries from shattered windows. most of the dead and injured were civilians, including many women and children. among those killed is mohammed nazir, who worked for the bbc as a driver. the bbc said he was a popular colleague, with a young family. the area where the bomb went off is supposed to be one of the most secure parts of the capital, walking distance from the presidential palace. the bbc‘s correspondent was at the scene soon after the attack. it was a water tanker or a lorry f
