A massive blast in a residential part of Kabul killed at least 16 people, officials said Tuesday, following yet another Taliban attack that came as the insurgents and Washington try to finalise a withdrawal deal. US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad was in the Afghan capital to discuss the proposed deal - which would see the US withdraw troops in return for Taliban security guarantees - when the Monday bombing happened.
