Four children and another civilian were killed Thursday in a bomb blast near a NATO-run outpost northeast of the Afghan capital Kabul, a military official said.
The bomb, similar to those used by Taliban militants in their attacks on military targets, exploded near a security post run by French occupation troops operating under NATO.
The incident occurred two kilometers north of Tagab, Kapisa province, close to the main NATO-run Bagram Air Field, which has been troubled by attacks blamed on the Taliban and other insurgents.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said that the deaths were caused by an improvised-explosive device.
"The explosion killed five civilians, including four children, and injured three children," the force said in a statement, blaming insurgents.
