KABUL -- A suicide car bomb targeting a convoy of foreign forces rocked eastern Kabul Friday (March 2), killing at least one child and injuring 22 people, the Interior Ministry said.
"Unfortunately around 9.00am, a car bombing took place in [the] Qabil Bay area of Kabul. The target of the attack was a foreign forces convoy," Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish told AFP, adding that police are investigating.
His deputy Nasrat Rahimi said a 12-year-old boy was killed, and 22 civilians wounded. NATO's Resolute Support mission in Kabul told AFP it was checking if any foreign casualties resulted from the blast.
A horse was badly injured and could be seen stumbling at the scene -- its head, belly and legs burnt -- before it was finally pitied and killed on the spot with a knife, an AFP reporter at the scene said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility.
