Suicide bomber targets foreign military vehicles in Kabul
2015-07-01
[NATION.PK] A powerful blast hit downtown Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
today as a suicide boom-mobileer targeted foreign military vehicles, officials said, with casualties feared.

The blast came on the main road to the airport, around 500 metres from the US embassy and near a base for foreign troops.

"It was a suicide boom-mobileer targeting a convoy of foreign forces in Kabul," interior ministry spokesperson Sediq Sediqqi said.

Kabul deputy police chief Sayed Gul Aga Rohani confirmed the attack and said there were casualties, but no details were immediately available.

The blast comes hours after a suicide truck bomb targeted a police headquarters in the restive southern province of Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
, killing at least two people.

#1  Another article says 2 dead (presume suicide driver one of them) and 26 injured. 2 Americans lighted wounded. Looked like the bomber crashed head on into one of the MRAPs. MRAP still in one piece.
