Story highlights Four killed in a suicide attack near the international airport in Kabul

A British national in an EU police vehicle is among the victims

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) Four people, including a British citizen, were killed by a Taliban suicide bomber Sunday in the Afghan capital, authorities said.

Kabul police spokesman Ebadullah Karimi said at least 18 people were wounded in the attack, which occurred just after 9:00 a.m. near Hamid Karzai International Airport.

According to Karimi, the bomber targeted the European Union vehicle -- occupied by the Briton and three others -- with an explosive-laden car.

"We can confirm that a British national was tragically killed in a terrorist attack in Kabul this morning," a spokesman for the United Kingdom's Foreign Commonwealth Office said. "We stand ready to provide consular assistance to the family."

The three other EU Police Mission members in the car suffered injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening, EUPOL said in a statement.
