                       Kabul Blast Targets Foreign Convoy

   by VOA News

   Afghan police say a suicide car bomber has targeted a convoy of foreign
   military vehicles in the capital, killing at least five Afghan
   civilians and wounding several others.
   The Hezb-e-Islami insurgent group has claimed responsibility for the
   Thursday morning attack in Kabul. A spokesman for the group said
   American advisers were the targets.
   NATO's International Security Assistance Force said it was aware of the
   explosion and was looking into reports of casualties.
   Hezb-e-Islami is a militant group which shares some of the
   anti-foreigner, anti-government aims of the Taliban.
   Taliban militants have been ramping up attacks on government forces
   lately, seeking to destabilize Afghanistan as more foreign troops
   prepare to draw down from the 12-year war.
