Three foreign advisers and an Afghan interpreter were killed in a suicide attack near Kabul international airport today.

The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the bomb, detonated outside an anti-narcotics office, just days after Kabul’s airport was audaciously attacked by militants with grenades and automatic weapons.

Several other individuals nearby were injured.

The airport hosts military and civilian carriers, serving as a major operational base for NATO-led forces who have been fighting the Taliban for more than a decade.
