Taliban suicide bomber kills 13 in Kabul convoy attack
A Taliban suicide car bomber attacked a foreign motorcade in Kabul, unleashing a blast that injured at least 13 people.
Faird Afzalai, the chief of criminal investigations for Kabul’s police, said the bomber targeted a foreign convoy, but he did not immediately have further information about the nationalities involved.
Ashmat Stanikzai, a spokesman for the Kabul police who gave the wounded figure, could not immediately say if anyone was killed.
The blast happened just off a busy road that runs from the US Embassy to the airport, near the country’s Supreme Court.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in an emailed statement to journalists. The international military coalition ISAF did not have any immediate information.
The attack comes as the country’s two presidential contenders continue negotiations to form some sort of national unity government.
