The death toll from a devastating suicide bomb blast in Kabul has risen to 103 with hundreds more wounded, officials said Sunday, making it the worst attack in the Afghan capital in months.

&quot;Unfortunately a number of wounded people have died in hospital. The number of martyrs is now 103,&quot; interior minister Wais Barmak told reporters, adding that another 235 were wounded.

The Taliban-claimed assault -- the second carried out by the militant group in the Afghan capital in a week -- triggered chaotic scenes as terrified survivors fled the area scattered with body parts, blood and debris, and hospitals were overwhelmed by a large number of wounded.
