DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. June 22, 2017, 12:22 PM (IDT)
At least 20 people were killed and 50 others were injured in a car bomb attack on a bank in southern Afghanistan on Thursday.

Bank staff and other civilians were among the casualties as well.
