A suicide blast targeting a foreign (NATO) convoy has killed at least four civilians in the Afghan capital.

Residents of the Darulaman neighborhood of West Kabul told The Times they heard a loud blast at 11:30 a.m. local time.

In statements to the media, Ministry of Interior officials said a convoy of U.S. and other forces was the target but that the blast left four civilians dead -- a woman, two children and a man -- and 35 injured.
