U.S Soldiers Among the Dead Following Suicide Bombing in Kabul

Five U.S. soldiers were among the 18 people killed on Tuesday when a suicide car bomber detonated an explosive in the Afghan capital of Kabul.

 

The Taliban has already claimed responsibility for the attack which involved a militant slamming a van packed with explosives into a NATO-led convoy as it passed near the country’s parliament. According to NATO six soldiers were killed in the blast, five Americans and a Canadian, with the rest of the casualties being civilians.

 

It is not known how the militant was able to avoid security and drive deep into the city as Kabul remains closely guarded by NATO forces.

 

Shortly after the attack Afghan President Hamid Karzai delivered an address that was aired on national television. During that address Karzai stated “We are condemning the attack in the strongest terms. I hope Afghanistan will soon get out of this suffering, God willing.”
