Nato soldier among 3 killed by blasts in Kabul
 At least three people, including one German soldier from the Nato-led peacekeepers, were killed in two car bomb attacks by Taleban fighters in Kabul yesterday. In the first attack, a man rammed his car into a patrol vehicle belonging to the International Security Assistance Force killing the soldier and himself. âIt was a suicide attack,â Mohammad Akbar, a senior commander for the area, told Reuters. âOne ISAF soldier has been killed, two other ISAF along with three civilians have been wounded.â General Mahboub Amiri, chief of the capitalâs rapid reaction police force, said the ISAF casualties were all German.Shortly afterwards, a second car blast killed two civilians some 3km down the same road, witnesses said, adding that they heard a small explosion and gunfire a little later. A police office said this was also a suicide attack, and added that another two peacekeepers had been wounded. Witnesses said three civilians, including a small child, had been hurt. Abdul Samad, a Taleban spokesman, telephoned Reuters soon after the first car bomb to claim responsibility. Posted by: Steve White 2005-11-15 |
