 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A suicide bomber exploded his car next to a U.S. Embassy convoy Monday, breaking months of relative calm in the Afghan capital with an attack that killed a teenage pedestrian and wounded five security guards on a notoriously dangerous stretch of road.
The first suicide attack in Kabul since December knocked one armored SUV across Jalalabad Road, which sees more bombings and rocket attacks than any other area in Kabul. Two other Chevrolet Suburbans also were damaged by the blast, which left the attack car a burning wreck.
A 15-year-old Afghan on the side of the road was killed, said Hasib Arian, the district police chief.
