Nato convoy hit in Af, 15 killed


Kabul: Asuicide bomber in a car attacked a convoy of foreign troops in Kabul on Thursday, killing at least 15 people including six Americans, Afghan and foreign officials said, in one of the worst attacks in the Afghan capital in months. Forty people were wounded in the blast in the morning rush-hour. It caused heavy damage to mud-built houses in the vicinity.
    The Hezb-e-Islami insurgent group, which is allied 
with the Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack on the two-vehicle convoy.
    Nato’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said the bomber killed two of its members and four civilian contractors. It declined to give nationalities.
    But two senior officials, one Afghan and the other from ISAF, said the two ISAF soldiers and four contractors were all American. REUTERS
