Attack On US Embassy Convoy
Kabul - A suicide bomber on Monday destroyed two vehicles in an attack in a US Embassy convoy travelling in Kabul that injured several people according to initial reports. It was not immediately clear if anyone had been killed in the blast which occurred on a main road often used by US and NATO troops travelling to the eastern city of Jalalabad. A US embassy spokesman cited by the Reuters newsagency said US Ambassador Ronald Neumann was not in the convoy.Taliban rebels have in recent weeks stepped up their attacks on government and Western-led coalition targets - including suicide attacks while NATO has launched an offensive in the south this month to pre-empt an expected spring offensive by the rebels.
