The Taliban claims responsibility for a car bomb explosion in Kabul on Monday, killing at least 5 people and wounding dozens.
The blast hit close to Green Village, a large compound used by staff of international organizations, sending a column of smoke and flame into the sky.
The Taliban's main spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the attack had targeted foreign forces. He said a car bomber had blown himself up and multiple attackers had stormed the compound.
