Blast targeting convoy kills 4 civilians in Kabul

A suicide blast targeting a foreign convoy has killed at least four civilians in the Afghan capital. 

Residents of the Darulaman neighborhood of West Kabul told The Times they heard a loud blast at 11:30 a.m. local time. 

In statements to the media, Ministry of Interior officials said a convoy of U.S. and other forces was the target but that the blast left four civilians dead -- a woman, two children and a man -- and 35  injured.  

Mohammad Khalid Feroz, 21, a student near the site of the blast, said he saw "pieces of a human head" on the side of the street. 

Sunday's blast comes a day after two bombings, including a rare improvised-device explosion, injured civilians and security forces. 

The first, an early morning blast in the eastern neighborhood of Arzan Qimat, wounded four members of the Afghan National Security Forces. A woman and child were among the three civilians injured. Though recent civilian casualty reports cite improvised explosive devices as the leading cause of civilian deaths, they are extremely rare in Kabul. 

On Saturday afternoon, a bomb attached to a police vehicle in the Pol-e Kheshti area of Kabul was reported to have killed one member of the Afghan National Police and wounded another. 

The so-called "sticky bombs" have become an increasingly prevalent mode of attack.
