Kabul: Afghanistan's Interior Ministry says a British national is among five people who were killed in a suicide attack on an embassy vehicle in the capital Kabul. Spokesman Seddiq Sediqqi says an Afghan national who was driving the vehicle was among the four Afghans killed in the attack. He says another 33 civilians were wounded. The British embassy had no comment. Earlier, a spokesman confirmed the attack on the embassy vehicle and said some people were wounded. He asked that his name not be published in keeping with embassy regulations. Kabul has come under almost daily attack as insurgents intensify their war on local security forces and US and NATO troops, who are set to officially conclude their combat role in the country at the end of next month.
