Suicide blast hits foreign military convoy in Kabul

Kabul, Sep 21: A suicide bomber targetted a convoy carrying foreign forces today in the Afghan capital, but there was no immediate word of any possible casualties, police said.

They said the attack happened near a bridge in the western outskirts of the city and foreign forces have blocked off the area. NATO and US-led troops along with several foreign security firms have bases in Kabul, which has witnessed a number of suicide attacks by Taliban guerrillas in recent weeks.

NATO said it had heard about the report of the attack, but said its forces were not involved.
