4 dead in Afghanistan suicide bombing

KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- At least four people died Tuesday in Kabul, Afghanistan, when a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden truck into the gate of a foreign security compound.

The compound, one of many in the Afghan capital, was guarded by foreign and Afghan personnel and was the headquarters for foreign contracting companies. The blast rattled windows across the city and caused a large plume of smoke above Kabul.

A spokesman for Afghanistan's Interior Ministry said two guards and two attackers were killed. Three civilians were reported injured. The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the incident.

The NATO International Security Assistance Force announced that none of its personnel was injured.

The blast was the latest in a series of suicide explosions in Kabul in the past several weeks, and came two days after Shukria Barakzai, a prominent female legislator, was targeted. She was wounded, and three civilians killed, as she rode in a convoy of vehicles near the parliament building.
