KABUL, June 28 (Xinhua) -- A suicide car bombing against international troops in eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar claimed the live of one child and injured nine others, including five police Sunday afternoon, provincial administration spokesman said.

"It occurred at 3 p.m. local time (1030 GMT) when a man driving explosive-laden car exploded himself next to a convoy of U.S.-led forces near the airport in provincial capital city of Jalalabad," Ahmad Zia Abdulzai told Xinhua.

However, he said it was not clear if there were causalities on the U.S. troops but five police and four civilians sustained injuries in the incident.

Meantime, Taliban's purported spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed, in talks with media through cell phone from undisclosed location, claimed that his man Mohammad Yousuf carried out the attack.

Mujahed also said that his men inflected casualties on U.S. forces.

Taliban's attack, mostly in the shape of suicide and roadside bombing, have claimed the lives of dozens of people in southern and eastern region during the past days as five civilians were killed on Saturday when their car struck a mine in Andir district of Ghazni province in southern part of the war-plagued nation.
