KABUL -- At least 12 people were killed and another six injured after a suicide bomber targeted a convoy of security forces in Kabul early Tuesday (December 11), officials said.
"Twelve people, including four members of the security forces, were killed," Interior Ministry deputy spokesman Nasrat Rahimi told AFP. Kabul police confirmed the casualties.
The Taliban took responsibility in a statement.
The blast took place in Paghman District in western Kabul as the convoy was returning from an overnight operation, Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish told AFP.
"It is still not clear whether the attacker was on foot or driving a vehicle," the spokesman added.
