Four NATO troops killed in Afghanistan
A Taliban suicide bomber disguised as a woman and wearing a burqa blew himself up in a market in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, killing four NATO troops, officials said.
The international troops were gathered in the main market of Kapisa province's Nijrab district when the bomber detonated his explosives, said Sediq Sediqi, a spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack in an email and said both French troops and Afghan police officers were killed in the explosion.
Sediqi said he had no reports of Afghan policemen being killed, but he said two civilians were wounded.
