A suicide bomber blew up a car packed with rockets outside police headquarters in the Afghan capital on Saturday killing several people, officials said.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. "Explosives were inside a vehicle that exploded and killed several civilians and wounded some policemen," said Interior Ministry spokesman Zemari Bashary.
The car was packed with BM12 rockets pointing towards the police chief's office, said a police official who declined to be identified. About five of the rockets failed to explode, he said.
A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed responsibility.
The Taliban rely heavily on suicide and roadside bombs in their insurgency against the Kabul government and foreign troops. .
