Three killed as Taliban suicide bomber targets NATO convoy near US Embassy in Kabul

A suicide bomber belonging to the Taliban rammed an explosives-laden car into a convoy of NATO near the US embassy in Kabul – three people of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were killed namely, two US and one Polish soldier and at least 13 civilians were wounded theguardian.com.
Moreover, 17 civilian cars were damaged in the explosion which was timed to coincide with the morning rush hour traffic outside the Supreme Court and on a main road leading from the airport to the heavily fortified embassy.
The blast happened on a route that is used on a daily basis by NATO convoys and its effect was felt even at a long distance.
Incidentally, Kabul has been regularly hit by complex Taliban attacks on the airport, luxury hotels, restaurants and foreign compounds. In August, four civilians were killed in a similar attack on a NATO convoy in the city. There were no casualties but it wounded at least 35 bystanders.
As per ISAF, one coalition soldier was shot dead on Monday by a man wearing an Afghan national army uniform and such ‘insider attacks’ have undermined relations between foreign soldiers and the Afghan military. The Afghan military is being trained to take on the Taliban alone after the departure of NATO.
