Suicide Bomber Blows Himself Up in Kabul
2010-05-30
[Quqnoos] A suicide attacker blew himself up Saturday outside a military caterer in Kabul but caused no casualties, officials said

The explosion took place east of the capital, close to a warehouse and supermarket run by Supreme Food Services, supplier of food to the foreign military, ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary told AFP.

"It was suicide attack and the suicide attacker detonated explosives strapped to his body," he said.

It was not immediately clear what the target of the attack had been, he said, adding the attacker, who was on foot, may have detonated prematurely.

The blast took place at the Kabul end of the road to Bagram air base, a huge NATO installation and until recently the biggest in the country, which is about 45 kilometres (30 miles) further north.

Two suicide bomb attacks in Kabul earlier this month ended a peaceful stretch in the capital of almost three months.
