KABUL (Reuters) - A huge car bomb exploded near the U.S. embassy in Kabul on Friday, killing at least 16 people including up to seven foreigners, the worst suicide attack in the city since the Taliban were overthrown in 2001.

"Some of them turned into pieces," a policeman said as rescue crews hosed down fires and washed blood and body parts from the road, meters (yards) from the entrance to the embassy.
The attack, likely to have been aimed at a U.S. military convoy, came just days ahead of the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States. >>>cont
