Official: Suicide bomber kills 1 in diplomatic area in Kabul

KABUL, Afghanistan – A suicide bomber killed at least one person in an attack in the diplomatic area of Afghanistan's capital on Saturday, an Afghan official said.

Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said six people were wounded in the attack in the Shash Darak area of Kabul, near NATO headquarters and not far from the US Embassy. Danish said the initial casualty count could rise.

No one immediately claimed responsibility but the Taliban and Islamic State militant group both have carried out past attacks in Kabul.
