A car bomb exploded near the entrance to Kabul airport on Monday causing casualties among both civilians and security forces, officials said, days after series of suicide attacks in the Afghan capital killed dozens and wounded hundreds.
A security official at the scene said the suicide attack appeared to be aimed at two armoured cars, although it was not clear who was in the vehicles. The tangled, flaming wreckage of one of the cars lay on its side, while dozens of fire fighters and police attended the scene.
“It was a crowded area. There are both civilian and security forces casualties,” said Najib Danish, a spokesman for the interior ministry. He said the wounded had been taken to hospital but there was no word on fatalities. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
