#2  From the Herald Sun:

A SUICIDE bomber has struck a tent filled with medical students eating lunch at a military hospital in Kabul, killing at least six people and wounding 23.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was targeting foreign trainers and Afghan doctors who work with them.

He claimed two bombers took part, but Defence Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammed Zaher Azimi said only one attacker was involved and only one blast was heard at the Mohammad Daud Khan military hospital.

The hospital is the largest in Kabul with 400 beds, and its grounds contain numerous buildings and small parks.

A NATO military official said no casualties were reported among the group of international trainers who assist at the hospital.
