A suicide attack in central Afghanistan has been committed late Saturday, in the eve of the 10th anniversary of September 11, leaving 90 people injured.

A terrorist attacked a NATO operational military base in the Wardak province with a truck-bomb.

Fifty American soldiers are among the injured.

The Taliban have assumed responsibility. In an email sent to the media they accused the US of using the 9/11 attacks as a pretext to invade Afghanistan and of killing thousands of local people.

Just hours before the Wardak attack, the Taliban distributed another statement vowing to be relentless in their war against US and NATO forces in Afghanistan until their last soldier leaves the country, but pointed out they had no involvement it the 9/11 attacks.
