According to CNN:

Sad news to report on new effects of the war. Five U.S. service members were among the 18 people killed in a suicide car bombing Tuesday in Kabul, a U.S. defense official confirmed.

Women, children and a NATO-led soldier also were killed when the bomb exploded near a registration center for Afghan Army recruits, officials said.

Along with the international service members, at least 12 civilians were killed and 48 others were injured, local medical officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which could be the deadliest on ISAF soldiers in Kabul this year. A NATO spokesman confirmed that five U.S. military vehicles were destroyed along with 13 civilian vehicles.
