At least 49 people were killed and more than 300 wounded when a massive bomb tore through Kabul's strongly fortified diplomatic quarter during the morning rush hour, Afghan officials said.
Health ministry spokesman Waheed Majroh gave the toll, which was confirmed by a second health official and the government media office, as the interior ministry urged Kabul residents to donate blood.
