A suicide bomber driving an explosive-filled vehicle targeted a US military base in eastern part of capital Kabul Tuesday, wounding at least five civilians, witnesses and officials said, DPA reported.
"The bomber hit the US base. There was a big explosion, the smoke is still coming out of the area," Abdul Ghani, a shopkeeper in the area said.
