A suicide bomber targeting a NATO convoy wounded three Afghan civilians in Kabul on Sept. 24 morning without causing casualties among Danish troops on board, officials said.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing in the west of the Afghan capital.

A suicide bomber attacked a convoy of foreign troops during the morning rush hour on Oct. 11 in the Afghan capital, flipping an armored vehicle on its side and wounding at least three civilians. 

Taliban insurgents fighting to topple the foreign-backed Kabul government claimed responsibility for the attack, which followed a series of bombings in the city in August. 

At least five people were killed on August 10 when a Taliban suicide car bomber struck near the entrance of Kabul's international airport, the latest in a wave of lethal bombings in the Afghan capital.

A Taliban attack killed at least 21 people in northern Afghanistan, officials said on August 9, after a wave of lethal bombings in the capital as the insurgency escalates following a bitter power transition.

Taliban militants attacked Afghan Parliament on Monday by detonating explosives and firing rockets while lawmakers inside were about to vote on the new defense minister.

Lawmakers were evacuated unharmed from the building as attackers entered the main building in Kabul.

The Taliban launched a complex attack on the Afghan parliament June 22, with a suicide car bomber striking at the entrance and gunmen battling police as lawmakers were meeting inside to confirm the appointment of a defense minister, police and witnesses said.
