An Afghan government official says the death toll in a suicide car bombing in a western neighbourhood of Kabul has climbed to 12.

Another 10 people were injured in the attack early this morning, said Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish. All the dead and wounded were civilians, he said.

Eyewitnesses said the suicide bomber seemed to target a minibus. It wasn't known whether the bus carried government employees but Danish said police were on the scene investigating.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
