Norway's Kabul embassy damaged
in blast
Norway's embassy in the Afghan capital Kabul was badly damaged in a blast on Tuesday morning. The embassy staff escaped unhurt, but outside eight were killed and 37 injured in the suicide bombing.
The explosion in the embassy district went off just before a conference on how to fight corruption was about to begin.
There was major damage to the Norwegian embassy, with windows and doors blown out. The 16 who live at the embassy will have to find new quarters.
The bomb was set off at the EUPOL Hotel, around 200 metres from the Norwegian embassy, as delegates were gathering for the anti-curruption conference.
