Afghan officials: Attack on intel convoy near Kabul hurts 3

Afghan officials say a suicide car bombing aimed at an intelligence service convoy has injured three people in Kabul.

Kabul police chief Daud Amin said the bomber struck Thursday morning west of Kabul and the area has been blocked off by the intelligence service.

An official in the Health Ministry says three people who were wounded were taken to the hospital.

Gafoor Azizi, a district police chief in western Kabul, said two vehicles caught fire.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the group carried out the attack on intelligence service employees returning from a mission and killed several of them.
