Kabul car bomb kills three

Three servicemen die in a suicide bomber attack near a NATO base in Kabul.

The US-led coalition in Afghanistan says three service members have been killed when a suicide car bomber attacked their convoy in an eastern district of the capital, Kabul.

The International Security Assistance Force didn't provide details on the identities or nationalities of those killed in the attack on Friday.

Earlier, Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanakzai said the attack, which occurred about a kilometre from the Camp Phoenix NATO base, wounded six civilians.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the insurgent group was behind the attack.
