Kabul: A Taliban bomber detonated an explosives-packed vehicle near Kabul airport on Monday in an attack on a Nato convoy, killing one civilian, a day after Pakistan’s army chief visited the Afghan capital in an effort to revive peace talks.

Four other civilians were wounded in the early morning attack, which comes amid a worsening security situation in Afghanistan as the Taliban step up their nationwide offensive.

“The bombing occurred near Kabul airport… We are finding out more details,” Gul Agha Rohani, Kabul deputy police chief, told AFP.

Interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said on Twitter: “One civilian killed and (four) civilians wounded in today’s car bomb explosion.”
