Afghan President Hamid Karzai has escaped unhurt after an assassination attempt during an official celebration in Kabul.
President Karzai was unhurt in the attack but one member of parliament was killed.
The Taliban, which claimed it was behind the attack, said three of its fighters were killed.
Government ministers along with leaders of other political factions were seen ducking down on a dais after gunfire sounded at the celebration to mark the 16th anniversary of the fall of the Communist government to the mujahideen.
State television cut off live transmission of the event.
The celebration, organised under tight security, was cancelled.
Mr Karzai has survived several assassination attempts in recent years.
