A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack near the military airport in Kabul.

An Afghan official said one civilian was killed and seven wounded.

Police said the vehicle exploded near the entrance to the airport in the Afghan capital early today. The blast rattled windows more than a mile away.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the attack was against a Nato convoy and that three Landcruisers were destroyed.

Nato forces said they do not yet have details on the incident. An Afghan health ministry official said one civilian was killed and seven wounded.
