The location of Monday’s double explosion – in the heart of Kabul city – is in a heavily fortified area and is surrounded by 14 check points – but this has done nothing to deter insurgents.

The area, known as Shash Darak, has witnessed numerous attacks in the past few months.

The area is also monitored by CCTV and officials have said that as yet, details as to how two suicide bombers penetrated the area remain unclear.

In this episode of Farakhabar, host Fawad Aman discusses the topic with the following guests:

• Shahhussain Murtazavi, deputy spokesman for the president

• Mujib Khelwatgar, chairman of NAI-Organization Supporting Open Media in Afghanistan
