Fear stalks the streets of Kabul
Violence has been escalating in Afghanistan's capital Kabul over recent months.
After a suicide bomber killed at least 12 people outside the interior ministry, residents of the city describe how the bloodshed has injected fear into daily life.

It was about 8am when I heard the bomb. I was some distance away and drove to the scene of the explosion.
It happened on a really busy street. By then the police had covered the area and wouldn't let us go close, but I did see that people were in a bad condition.
Blood was spattered on the streets. I saw the wreckage of a car. I've never experienced such a horrible incident. There is a school very nearby. I heard that children were injured.
When I got there, police were sweeping the blood from the street. When I saw that happening, I thought: "Is this our future now?"
One witness told me that the suicide bomber wanted to enter inside the building but the police didn't let him. When the police got suspicious, he abruptly detonated the bomb.
Kabul doesn't feel safe anymore. Terrorist activities have been increased. It's not just me, lots of people feel more at risk.
