Afghan officials say a suicide bomber on a motorcycle has attacked a British embassy vehicle in Kabul, killing at least five Afghans and wounding more than 30 bystanders.

The British embassy confirmed there were "injuries" among those in the vehicle, but could not give any other information.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it "targeted foreign invading forces" and many were killed and wounded.

It was the latest in a wave of recent attacks to hit the Afghan capital, as a majority of foreign combat forces prepare to leave the war-torn country next month.

Two U.S. soldiers were killed in a bomb blast in Kabul earlier this week.
