All attackers have been killed after a suicide car bomb attack near the Iraqi embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan on Monday, AFP reported, citing Afghan Interior Ministry.
ISIL has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the group's Amaq news agency. 
The Afghan Interior Ministry said in a statement that four terrorists attacked the Iraqi embassy in Ansari Square at around 11:10 a.m. local time. One terrorist detonated his explosive at the first gate of the embassy and three assailants entered the building.

All the attackers were dead and the attack was over, the statement said, roughly four hours after the attack, adding that all embassy staff were safe and only one policeman wounded.
Civilians were evacuated from the area.
The attack comes a week after at least 35 people were killed in a suicide attack on government workers in Kabul and underlines the precarious security in Afghanistan as the US administration considers an overhaul of its policy in the region.
