Eyewitnesses: Kabul Suicide Attacks

I was in the Safi Landmark Hotel on the explosion side of the building at the time of the attack. At 0630 I woke up to shattered glass and smoke. All my windows had been blown out.

The damage was so extensive that I imagine it must have been a car bomb. This was followed by further explosions and gunfire extensive.

For 30 minutes I stayed in my room not knowing Whether I should stay or go.

I'm now safe in my boss's house not far from the scene.Read More Story,http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8538164.stm
