Kabul suicide car bomb kills Nato peacekeeper

A suicide attacker rammed a car laden with explosives into a convoy of Nato-led peacekeepers in the Afghan capital Kabul today, killing at least one Nato soldier and wounding two other troops and six Afghans.

A local police commander, Pashtun, who uses only one name and was at the scene of the blast, said the soldiers were German, though this could not immediately be confirmed.
