Suicide Bomber Targets NATO Convoy in Kabul

by Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD --

   A suicide bomber has struck a NATO convoy in the Afghan capital, Kabul,
   injuring at least three people.

   The Ministry of Interior described the injured as Afghan civilians but
   would not say whether foreign forces suffered any casualties.

   The Taliban insurgency has taken credit for plotting the suicide car
   bombing. Its spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, claimed a American military
   convoy was targeted, destroying several vehicles and inflicting heavy
   casualties on the "invading" forces.

   The insurgents are know to issue inflated casualty tolls for such
   attacks that often turn out to be false.
