Kabul  - A suicide bomber detonated his vehicle near a NATO-led Turkish military convoy in Kabul city Sunday, killing himself and wounding two civilians, but causing no troop casualties, police said.

The attack took place in Company, an area on the western outskirts of Kabul, Sunday morning as the Turkish convoy was coming from the neighbouring province of Wardak, deputy provincial police chief Alishah Ahmadzai said.

"The bomber detonated his taxi car before reaching the convoy," Ahmadzai said. "The blast wounded two of our innocent people who were passing by the area at the time of the attack, but according to our information no one was hurt in the convoy."

Turkish soldiers are stationed in Wardak province as part of the 50,000 NATO troops deployed to the country from 40 nations. dpa
