Splodydope kills 2 in Kabul
Interior ministry spokesman says two local civilians killed in the attack outside a residential complex included a woman.

A Taleban suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden car in Kabul on Friday outside a compound where many foreign workers are based, Afghan officials said, killing at least two local civilians. The blast was followed by bursts of gunfire as Afghan quick-reaction security forces rushed to the scene at the Green Village, a fortified residential complex not far from Kabul airport in the east of the city.

"Initial investigations show it was suicide car bomb attack," interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said, confirming that two civilians, including one woman, had been killed.

"A small car packed with explosives hit two vehicles as they were exiting the Green Village compound," he added. Two other civilians were injured.

The Taleban militant group quickly claimed responsibility for the strike.

"Our mujahideen targeted a convoy of foreign forces at the Green Village which is used by the Americans," Taleban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told AFP. "Heavy casualties have been inflicted on the enemy and the fighting is continuing."
