A suicide car bomber hit a convoy of security contractors in the Afghan capital Thursday, killing an American and a Nepalese citizen and wounding three other Americans, police said. The Taliban claimed responsibility.
Two Afghan civilians were wounded in the attack in eastern Kabul, said Najibullah Samsur, a local police chief.
“There were two foreigner vehicles that passed near my shop and a third private vehicle hit them, causing the explosion,” said Ahmad Shah, whose shop is close to the blast site.
He said the attacker’s vehicle and two of the contractors’ vehicles caught fire after the blast.
