(KABUL, Afghanistan) — An Afghan official says a suicide car bomber has struck a security convoy on the outskirts of Kabul, killing four security forces.

Nasrat Rahimi, deputy spokesman for the Interior Ministry, said six other forces were wounded in Tuesday’s attack.

No one immediately claimed responsibility, but the Taliban and an Islamic State affiliate have both carried out attacks in the capital.

Elsewhere in Afghanistan, the Taliban attacked a checkpoint in the southern Kandahar province late Monday, killing eight police.

Its getting really worrying now, the Taliban already controls over 60% of Afghanistan and now they are hitting Kabul regularly!! The US have pathetically failed in their job in Afghanistan. It is about time that US and Afghan authorities shift their focus back from nurturing ISIS to fighting and defeating Taliban themselves. They have created a mess in the region, destabilizing the whole region, just like the did back in cold war days!!

Taliban are even controlling areas that they didn't control even before 2001
