KABUL: The Afghan Taliban Spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid today claimed the responsibility for a suicide attack on a NATO convoy in the north of Kabul.

US Navy Captain Bill Salvin, a military spokesman, said one person died and six, including an Afghan translator, were wounded.

The suicide attacker from northern Takhar province hit the patrol near Qarabagh, barely 30 kilometres north of Kabul, about 8pm on Thursday.

The wounded were taken to a US military hospital at the Bagram airfield north of Kabul for treatment.
