There were two more attackers, sources said, but they managed to escape. The search is on for the other two.

Kabul Bank has the contract of paying the salaries of the Afghan National Police and the Afghan National Army.

This is not the first time that a branch of Kabul Bank was targeted. Last year a branch in Jalalabad was attacked by a suicide attacker who killed more than 40 people.
