Kabul, June 02: Two blasts were heard in Kabul on Wednesday as President Hamid Karzai delivered a speech at the opening of a “jirga” at which 1,600 delegates will discuss making peace with the Taliban, an AFP reporter said.
Karzai broke off his speech to say: “Someone is trying with a rocket perhaps.”
“Don’t worry about it, let’s proceed,” he told the delegates, who broke into applause.
