Suicide blast in Kabul, two dead

A SUICIDE car bomb struck an upmarket suburb in the Afghan capital near the
Pakistan embassy early today, killing at least two people.

The explosion took place in the Wazir Akbar Khan suburb close to the city
centre that is home to diplomatic missions, politicians and several of the
international aid agencies operating in Afghanistan. 

"There was a suicide car bomb in Wazir Akbar Khan near a foreign bank.
Initial reports indicate that two civilians have been killed,'' interior
ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary told AFP. 

The ministry said the attack was a suicide bomb that was apparently targeted
at international soldiers in the area. 

The blast comes a day after a bomb planted on a dust road used by Italian
military forces on the outskirts of the capital tore apart a car, killing
four Afghan men, security officials said. 

Police said it was not clear if yesterday's blast was motivated by personal
enmity or was the work of "enemies of Afghanistan,'' a term that refers to
insurgents from the Taliban movement and other rebel outfits. 

On Saturday a suicide bomber blew himself up among Italian military
engineers working on a footbridge in the town of Paghman, 25km west of
Kabul. 

One Italian soldier and eight Afghans, three of them children, were killed.
The Taliban claimed responsibility. 

Attacks and kidnappings linked to an insurgency led by the extremist Taliban
movement, which was in government between 1996 and 2001, have increased in
and around the city in recent months.
