STORYLINE:
A purported spokesman for the Taliban claimed responsibility on behalf of the militant organisation for a suicide car bombing against a NATO patrol in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday.
Qari Yousaf Ahmadi said the suicide bomber that targeted the NATO patrol in the southern province of Kandahar was an Afghan man from the same area.
One civilian was killed and four NATO soldiers were wounded in the blast, officials said.
Manan Khan, an eyewitness told AP Television: "I was sitting inside my home when I heard an explosion. When I came out, I saw two NATO vehicles had been burnt and the suicide vehicle was destroyed."
Ahmadi often contacts journalists to claim attacks for the Taliban, but his exact ties to the militia, which ruled Afghanistan until the US-led military takeover of the country in 2001, are unclear.
