Taliban Hits U.S. Embassy Officials in Kabul

The Taliban has taken credit for the suicide bombing next to a motorcade of U.S. Embassy officials in Kabul.

Joe Mellott, a US embassy spokesman, told the AP news agency that several American embassy officials were wounded in the incident, one seriously. He confirmed that Ronald Neumann, the US Ambassador, was not in the convoy.

Local police later confirmed that a 15-year-old passerby had died in the blast, while several civilians were injured.
