KABUL, Afghanistan – A suicide car bomb attack rocked a convoy of foreign contractors in the Afghan capital, Kabul, Friday, causing loud explosions followed by a burst of gunfire.

At least two Afghan civilians were killed in the attack, at the entrance of a high-security international zone, according to local police chief Colonel Hafiz Amin.

"A two car convoy, carrying foreign contractors, was hit by a suicide-bomb laden sedan, which destroyed one car completely and partially damaged the other car,” Amin said.

“There were casualties of those contractors but they have been taken back into the camp, so the number of casualties cannot be confirmed by the police. Two Afghan civilian passers-by, a husband and wife, were killed as a result of the explosion."
