On 31 May 2017, a truck bomb exploded in a crowded intersection in Kabul, Afghanistan, near the German embassy at about 08:25 local time (03:55 GMT) during rush hour,[3] killing over 150 and injuring 413,[4][5] mostly civilians, and damaging several buildings in the embassy.[6][7] The attack was the deadliest terror attack to take place in Kabul. The diplomatic quarter—in which the attack took place—is one of the most heavily fortified areas in the city, with three-meter-high (10 ft) blast walls, and access requires passing through several checkpoints.[3][7] The explosion created a crater about 4.5 meters (15 ft) wide and 30 feet deep.[8] Afghanistan's intelligence agency NDS claimed that the blast was planned by the Haqqani Network.[9][10] Although no group has claimed responsibility, the Afghan Taliban are also a suspect but they have denied involvement and condemned the attack.[11][12] It was the single largest attack on the city up till that point.[13]
