(AFP) – A suicide bomber struck near a US military base in Kabul on Tuesday injuring at least nine Afghans, police and the NATO force said, just days ahead of a global summit on tackling a Taliban-led insurgency.
The attacker detonated a car packed with explosives near the main gate of Camp Phoenix, a military base on the outskirts of Kabul on the main road to the eastern provinces. Other NATO member states also have a presence in the camp.
Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, the bombing bore the hallmarks of the Taliban, who are waging an increasingly deadly insurgency to topple the Afghan government and oust foreign troops.
"There was a suicide car bomb attack near Camp Phoenix. The suicide attacker detonated his car close to an international forces convoy," Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman told AFP.
