A suicide car bomber exploded a compound of a US company, Contrack International that provided logistics services for the Afghan forces and NATO coalition bases on the eastern outskirts of Afghan capital, Kabul on Monday.
The car blast killed at least two Afghan workers and wounding more than 15 other people including foreigners, had triggered just after a suspected landmine, a roadside bomb exploded in another part of eastern Afghan killed 10 young girls, police said.
It is the one of the most deadly assaults on Westerners in the fortified Afghan capital and bodies of victims are so badly shattered that they could hardly be recognized.
Reports said that the car packed with explosives hit in a small lane between Contrack International and another compound housing a carton-making factory which is close to a NATO base, Camp Phoenix.
In blast, the company’s country director was wounded along with five American and South African citizens.
Another roadside bomb killed young girls aged between 9 and 11 years while one of them accidentally struck a landmine with an axe as they were collecting firewood before going to school in a Taliban-troubled area, an official of the police chief of Nangarhar Province told reporters.
Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack and said that it was a suicide car bombing carried out under the surveillance of the mujahedin on an American company facilitating security services to forces.
