A suicide attacker drove an explosives-filled car into a US Embassy convoy in the Afghan capital on Monday, wounding some embassy staff and at least one child, officials said.
The attack on the road to the eastern city of Jalalabad was the first suicide bombing inside Kabul this year, after several deadly blasts last year blamed on Taliban insurgents.
“There was a vehicle-borne IED (improvised explosive device) that struck a US embassy convoy on Jalalabad Road,” embassy spokesman Joe Mellot said.
“There were some injuries, including one seriously injured who has been evacuated for treatment.”
Ambassador Ronald Neumann was not in the convoy.
