Three NATO soldiers killed in Kabul suicide bombing

NATO says three coalition soldiers died after a Taliban suicide car bomber rammed into a military convoy in the Afghan capital Kabul.

Reports say 16 civilians were also injured.

The blast took place in heavy traffic on the airport road near the US embassy, this morning.

It occurred amid uncertainty over disputed presidential elections and the withdrawal of most NATO troops by 2015.

The nationality of the dead and injured remains unclear.

Taliban sources told reporters via social media that the group carried out the attack.
