Suicide Attack Rocks Afghan Capital Kabul, Civilian Casualties Feared

A suicide attack rocked the Afghan capital Kabul early Tuesday killing at least five people, officials said, in what was the first major assault in the city in months.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which comes after nearly three months of relative calm in the capital.

“This morning at around 7 am, a suicide bomber detonated his explosives… killing five people including two civilians and three military personnel. Twelve were wounded, including five civilians,” said the ministry of interior’s spokesman Nasrat Rahimi.
