Taliban Suicide Bomber Rams EU Auto in Kabul; At Least 2 Afghans, 1 Briton Killed in the Attack

A suicide car bomber rammed a European Union (EU) vehicle near the main airport in Afghanistan's capital today (May 17, 2015), killing at least two Afghans and a British national in the latest attack in the city, according to the France 24 website.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on the European Union Police Mission in Afghanistan (EUPOL), which advises Afghan law enforcement authorities.

The insurgents have launched a multitude of attacks around the country since the reduction of most foreign troops last year to a small training force.

EUPOL spokeswoman Sari Haukka-Konu confirmed that one of the mission's vehicles was hit by an explosion near Kabul airport. She also said that one person traveling in the vehicle was killed.
