HARLOW: Horror on the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan. We want to warn you before we play these images some of them are incredibly graphic. A car bomb went off in one of the most heavily protected parts of the city during one of the busiest times of day. At least 80 people are dead, more than 300 injured in this attack. Officials say the explosion struck the area right near the German embassy this morning during rush hour.</s>BERMAN: The U.S. embassy responded with a message saying, "We stand with the Afghan people." All of this is happening as President Trump is weighing whether to send more troops to Afghanistan. We want to bring in CNN's Ian Lee covering this for us. Ian, what can you tell us about the incident?</s>IAN LEE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hi, John and Poppy. This is a large water truck, we are told, that was trying to gain entry into the green zone. It was denied entry according to NATO officials and that's when that bomb exploded killing over 80 people. This was the height of rush-hour traffic. Those streets were packed when that bomb went off. That's why we have just so many casualties right now. 360 people were also injured in this attack in the surrounding area, embassies were damaged. If you look at the video you can just see the carnage on the street, the people bloodied and cars burned out. We were told that there was also a 13-foot crater in the ground that remains of the vehicle that carried out this explosion. So far no one has claimed responsibility. The Taliban has come out and said it wasn't them.</s>BERMAN: All right. Ian Lee for us, thank you very, very much. Appreciate it, Ian.</s>HARLOW: All right. Comedian Kathy Griffin, she is pleading for forgiveness after she posted an incredibly disturbing photo of the president this morning. The president is responding saying how it has affected his children including his 11-year-old son.
