A suicide blast in Afghanistan has killed nine civilians including four children and an Italian soldier.
The bomber targeted Italian troops at a bridge construction project just outside Kabul.
Four Italian soldiers were wounded in the attack and one of them died on his way to hospital.
The Italians were working on a bridge and many people had gathered around to watch, according to police.
Italy has nearly 2,400 soldiers in Afghanistan, most of them in the west of the country.
The Taliban have killed at least 200 civilians in more than 140 suicide attacks so far this year, in their campaign to oust the government and eject troops from the country.
