Iran Press/Asia: The Taliban carried out a suicide car bombing Thursday in Afghanistan's capital, killing at least 10 people.
According to interior ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi, at least 10 civilians were killed and 42 more wounded, Al Jazeera reported.
The blast happened in a heavily fortified diplomatic area that is home to the US Embassy as well as key Afghan government sites.
A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility, saying the bombing targeted foreigners.
The militant group was behind another attack this week on a foreign compound that killed at least 16 people and wounded more than 100.
About 14,000 US troops and some 17,000 troops from 39 NATO allies and partner countries are in Afghanistan in a non-combative role.
