A Taleban suicide bomber disguised as a woman rammed his motorcycle into an international convoy, killing a NATO soldier and two Afghan civilians in an attack north of the Afghan capital, the US military said Friday. It was the second deadly assault this week on a NATO convoy. According to the US military, three other Georgian soldiers were wounded in Thursday’s bombing, as well as two US Service Members and an Afghan interpreter. The military said the wounded are in stable condition receiving treatment at the US military hospital at Bagram Air Base. In a statement, US Gen. John Nicholson, the top US commander in Afghanistan, praised the contribution of the nearly 900 Georgian military personnel serving in Afghanistan. “The commitment of Georgia as our largest non-NATO contributor is vital to our mission and we are honoured to stand beside them under these difficult circumstances,” Nicholson said.
