A foreign member of the European Union police was among those killed in a suicide car bomb near Kabul airport on Sunday, a spokesman said.

"All we can say at this moment is that two of EUPOL's vehicles were there at the time of the attack. The one killed inside a vehicle was a foreigner who worked for EUPOL," Aziz Basam, senior press officer with the European Union Police Mission in Afghanistan (EUPOL), told AFP.
