By Xinhua,
Kabul : Suicide attack targeting convoy of German embassy Sunday afternoon killed two civilians and injured five others in Afghan capital Kabul, officials said.
Kabul police chief Ayub Salangi told reporters on the spot that it occurred at around 2:45 p.m. local time (1015 GMT) when a suicide bomber blew himself off near the vehicles belonging to the German embassy close to the compound of Afghan parliament.
“At least seven people dead and injured, all civilians,” Salangi said. “No casualties of German embassy were reported so far.”
This is the second bloody incident in Afghan capital within one week as the Taliban-plotted suicide car attack targeting convoy of international troops Thursday morning near U.S. embassy leaving four civilians dead and some 20 others injured.
Spiraling conflicts and Taliban-linked insurgency have claimed around 5,000 people with some 2,000 civilians so far this year in strife-torn Afghanistan while Taliban insurgents have vowed to intensify assaults against interests of Afghan government and international troops before the coming winter.
