Kabul, Afghanistan (IINA) - A suicide bomber blew himself up, killing another person and wounded 13 others on a road near Kabul airport, local officials said on Monday, Reuters reported.
A police officer at the scene said the suicide bomber walked up to a white pickup truck and detonated explosives he was wearing. A minibus was also destroyed in the explosion, which shattered the windows of nearby shops.
The head of Kabul police, Abdul Rahman Rahimi, said one person had been killed, and 13 were wounded, including three women. He claimed that the aim of the attack in an overwhelmingly civilian area was to create fear among people.
The suicide bombing followed a series of attacks this month claimed by Taliban insurgents, including an assault on a Spanish embassy guesthouse in the capital on December 11 and a suicide bombing near Bagram air base that killed six American troops last week.
