Car bomb explodes near airport in Kabul, 3 killed, 20 injured

Kabul: Three people were killed and 20 others were injured as car bomb exploded on Sunday on a road near the main airport in Kabul.

Police spokesman Ebadullah Karimi said a suicide bomber in a Toyota Corolla rammed a convoy of foreign troops on the road from Kabul's main airport to a NATO military installation nearby.

He could give no further details.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, though Taliban insurgents have launched a wave of attacks around the country since the drawdown of most foreign troops last year to a small training force.
