AlHijjah 13, 1434, Oct 18, 2013, SPA -- At least two civilians were killed and two others injured Friday in a suicide attack targeting a NATO convoy in eastern Kabul, the interior ministry's spokesman said. "According to initial reports, two civilians, including a woman, were killed and two men were wounded in today's attack in Kabul," dpa quoted Sediq Sediqqi as saying. According to witnesses, the suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden car close to the Green Village, a hotel where officials working with the United Nations, contractors for NATO and US government personnel reside. Another witness, a guard at the Green Village, said that the attack targeted two vehicles with NATO contractors as they were passing through. He said the compound was not the target. But a Nepalese guard was slightly injured. A NATO official confirmed the attack. "I can confirm that a vehicle-borne improvised explosives device was detonated in Kabul today. One enemy was killed. As of now, there is no operational report on ISAF fatality," Lieutenant Commander John Ripley, a spokesman for the NATO-led coalition told dpa. He did not confirm or deny if any foreign troops were injured.
