Gen. Joseph L. Votel, commander of the United States Central Command, was in Kabul Saturday during a deadly suicide bombing in Afghanistan's capital, CENTCOM confirmed to CBS News.

"The general was in Kabul, for regular scheduled meetings," CENTCOM Public Affairs Director Colonel John J. Thomas told CBS News in an email. "It was a large explosion that did not escape the attention of any of our people in Kabul."

CBS News' David Martin reports Votel was at the Afghan Defense Ministry -- less than approximately two miles from the location of the explosion near Abdul Haq Square.

How horrible, updating the story (in World News too), the fatalities are nearing 100. It was an ambulance bomb. So, that strikes me as being particularly evil. To load up an ambulance with explosives. Taliban has claimed responsibility, What mindless violence, terror.
