British soldier killed in Kabul suicide blast
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/ISL271031.htm

KABUL, Jan 28 (Reuters) - A British soldier died and three were wounded on Wednesday when a suspected suicide bomber drove a taxi carrying explosives up to their vehicle in Kabul, the second attack on peacekeepers in the Afghan capital in as many days.

A member of the ousted Taliban militia claimed responsibility for the attack on peacekeepers of the NATO-led force that came a day after a Canadian soldier and an Afghan civilian were killed in a suicide attack in the city.

"We heard a powerful explosion. When we got out we saw a destroyed British vehicle...along with a taxi," said police officer Mirza Mohammad.

"We carried one dead British soldier along with three other wounded British soldiers and one of their translators."
