Kabul – Three NATO-led international soldiers and three Afghan civilian were killed in an explosion in the northern part of Kabul on Tuesday, officials said.
One more soldier of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was wounded in what an ISAF statement said was a roadside bomb blast. ISAF did not disclose the nationalities of the victims.
Zemarai Bashary, an Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman, said the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber driving an explosive-packed vehicle in the Jarchin area of the north-eastern province of Kapisa, an area into which Kabul extends.
“Three civilians were martyred in the attack and two others were wounded,” Bashary said, but could not give information about the foreign troops.
US and French soldiers are stationed in Kapisa province as part of the 70,000-strong ISAF contingent in Afghanistan. (dpa)
