Kabul airport blast came from within crowd of passengers: Report

One of the two explosions outside Kabul’s international airport which killed a dozen of US and Afghan people came from within the crowd, Afghanistan’s Tolo News has reported citing eyewitnesses. The blast occurred from inside a crowd of Afghans close to the Baron camp, adjacent to the airport, an eyewitness told the Afghanistan media.

Two blasts took place near Kabul airport on Thursday morning as several countries were carrying out their evacuation process. The commotion at Kabul airport started on Thursday when Afghan forces reportedly fired into the air to disperse crowds near the airport when an Italian military transport plane was departing. The firing was not aimed at the Italian plane, reports said. Then came the explosions one after another, reports confirmed.
