An Afghan official says the death toll from a suicide bombing on the outskirts of Kabul Tuesday has climbed to 12.

Nasrat Rahimi, the Interior Ministry's deputy spokesman, said Wednesday that four security forces and eight civilians, including two women and two children, were killed in the suicide car bombing, which targeted a security convoy. He says 12 other people were wounded.

The Taliban, which effectively controls nearly half the country and carries out daily attacks on security forces, claimed responsibility for the bombing.
