Afghanistan suicide bomber drives explosive car into Nato envoy
A suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosive into a vehicle containing NATO’s top envoy in Afghanistan, Turkish officials said.
"A car bomb attack has been carried out on the vehicle of the security team of Turkish envoy Ismail Aramaz," the Turkish military said in a statement.
One Turkish soldier was killed and another was wounded in the attack, which was carried out in the heavily fortified capital, Kabul, close to the German, Iranian and Turkish embassies.
However, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid revealed on Twitter that a convoy of US troops was the target of the attack, as opposed to the embassy.
A security report showed the car burst into flames and flip onto its side at the edge of the road, killing the driver.
The attack follows a similar suicide bombing in November which targeted a British embassy car.
