The Daily Mail is reporting a huge explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan near the U.S., Britain, German, and French embassies leaving at least 80 dead and 350 injured.

From the report:

At least 80 are dead and 350 more are injured after a massive truck bomb ripped through Kabul's diplomatic quarter this morning.

Bodies littered the street and a towering plume of smoke could be seen over the Afghan capital after the suicide attack blew out the windows in a number of international missions and residences nearby.

The target of the blast, which happened near the British, French, German and US embassies, was not immediately known but authorities said most of the casualties were civilians.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast but both the Taliban and ISIS have staged large-scale attacks in Kabul in the past.

Initial reports said 50 had been killed but the death toll climbed. The blast occurred during rush hour at a busy intersection, the report notes:

The neighbourhood is considered Kabul's safest area, with foreign embassies protected by dozens of 10-foot-high blast walls and government offices, guarded by police and national security forces. 

The German Embassy, the Foreign Ministry and the Presidential Palace are all in the area, as are the British and the Canadian embassies. The Chinese, Turkish and Iranian embassies are also located there.

The French and German embassies were damaged by the massive bomb that ripped through Kabul's strongly fortified diplomatic quarter on Wednesday, a French minister said.

It is reported that the explosion was so massive it destroyed at least 30 vehicles and blew out windows in shops up to a half mile away. Two Japanese embassy staffers are said to be “mildly injured” from cuts.

UK residents are upset at this news, commenting on Daily Mail's site, “You can guarantee that there won't be a fundraising concert for the victims & survivors of this sickening attack. Sad”

“Where's the charity concert? Where's the hashtag to pray for Kabul? Where's the facebook display picture filter of the flag?” another wrote.

This attack came just days after another car bomb exploded outside of an ice cream shop in Baghdad which killed 15, including a 12-year-old girl from Australia, and injured 32. And before that, of course, was the Manchester bombing.

Is it safe to say Islam is not a religion of peace yet?
