Kabul, June 22 (IBNS) A huge explosion rocked the Afghan parliament in Kabul on Monday.

"Several mujahideen have entered the parliament building, heavy fighting is on going," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid posted on Twitter.
"The attack happened at a time when the defence minister was being introduced," he said.
