KABUL: At least three civilians were killed in the capital Kabul after their vehicle was attacked with a sticky bomb, an official said.

Najib Danish, deputy spokesman for the interior ministry, said the victims of the Saturday attack are two female government employees from the water supply department and a small child. A sticky bomb is a type of grenade designed to be attached to a vehicle.

Danish said the driver of the vehicle was wounded.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Meanwhile, 10 insurgents including a Talbian-app­ointed deputy governor and district chief were killed a day earlier in northern Samangan province, Danish said.
