Taliban launch attacks on Nato, Afghan personnel in Kabul

KABUL: Two suicide attacks in Kabul on Tuesday — the first targeting Nato personnel and the other Afghan spy agency men — left one person dead and five wounded, officials said.

In the first incident, a Taliban suicide car bomber targeting a Nato vehicle rocked the southeast of the city, wounding three people including one described by the police as a “foreigner”.

An hour later three Taliban attackers tried to storm a branch office of the National Directorate of Security (NDS), Afghanistan’s main intelligence agency.

One militant on a motorcycle blew himself up, killing a guard, before other guards killed his two colleagues.
