KABUL, Dec 4 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber rammed a car into a convoy of foreign forces on Tuesday close to the airport for the Afghan capital, but there was no immediate comment on any casualties among the troops.

Several Afghan civilians were wounded in the attack which happened during the rush hour on a road just outside the international airport, a senior city police official said.

A spokesman for NATO confirmed a foreign military convoy was hit, but he did not know if it belonged to the alliance or to the U.S. military. (Reporting by Hamid Shalizi, editing by Sayed Salahuddin and Jerry Norton)
