A suicide bomber attacked a motorcade of German troops near the international airport in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Wednesday, a military official said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.

Confirmation of the attack from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) came soon after a Reuters witness reported a large blast near the sprawling and heavily guarded facility, which is used by civilians and the military.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in a text message sent by its Spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid.

He claimed that two German vehicles were destroyed and "10 soldiers were killed and wounded".

A bomb had been planted in a four-wheel-drive vehicle on the northern edge of the airport, Afghan Deputy Interior Minister, Gen. Ayoub Salangi, said adding that there were no casualties.
