Taliban wound 21 Afghans, kill one in attack on NATO convoy
A Taliban suicide car bomb attack on a convoy of NATO troops in Kabul on Tuesday wounded 21 Afghan civilians and killed one, police and witnesses said.
Two coalition soldiers suffered light wounds, a U.S. public affairs officer said in a statement. The troops had been traveling in armored vehicles specially designed to withstand mines and roadside bombs, while the Afghan casualties were mostly pedestrians outside a row of shops.
A Reuters witness saw U.S. troops attending to a stricken comrade lying on the ground close to the blackened and mangled wreck of one of the vehicles.
A Taliban spokesman used Twitter to claim responsibility for the attack, saying an American vehicle had been destroyed.
