KABUL, December 15, SPA -- A suicide car bomber struck a heavily guarded neighborhood Tuesday near the home of a former Afghan vice president and a hotel favored by Westerners, killing at least eight people and wounding dozens, the Associated Press reported. Security officials at the scene said the bomber was going after the home of former vice president Ahmad Zia Massoud. Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the bombing in a statement released later and ordered officials to find those responsible. «This terrorist attack, which killed and wounded innocent civilians, was an attack on humanity and Islam,» Karzai said. Four men and four women died in the suicide blast, Ministry of Interior spokesman Zemeri Bashary said, adding about 40 others were wounded. --SPA 14:57 LOCAL TIME 11:57 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/728373
