KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, March 01, 2010, SPA -- A suicide car bomber targeted NATO forces Monday outside the major southern Afghan city of Kandahar, killing four civilians, the Interior Ministry said. The attacker waited in a station-wagon taxi near a bridge between the airport and city that NATO troops regularly check for explosives, said Inhamullah Khan, an Afghan army official at the bombing site. The assailant detonated the bomb as the convoy crossed the bridge in the morning, tossing a military vehicle into the ravine below, Khan was quoted as saying by The Associated Press. Khan did not have information on NATO casualties. NATO spokesman Maj. Marcin Walczak of the Polish Army said the international military coalition was aware of the incident but did not yet have any details on casualties. The Interior Ministry confirmed four civilian deaths in a statement. Three of the civilians who died were in a car that had pulled over nearby to wait for the convoy to pass, Khan said. --SPA 14:49 LOCAL TIME 11:49 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/753531
