The Taliban is taking responsibility for a suicide car bombing in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The attack took place Monday at the main entrance to the international airport. At least four civilians were killed. Seventeen other people were injured.

Witnesses said the target of the attack was a group of vehicles carrying government officials. The Taliban said the attack targeted “foreign occupation forces.”

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for other bombings in recent days in Kabul and in other places in the country. More than 50 people were killed last Friday in an attack on an American base near the airport and on an Afghan police training center. On Saturday, at least 29 people were killed in a Taliban suicide bombing in the northern province of Kunduz.
