“All Americans are accounted for, and no injuries were sustained,” the official told the AP.

Separately, six people were killed and 16 wounded in separate bombing attacks in other parts of Afghanistan, the AP said.

Attacks by militants have increased in recent months as U.S. and other foreign troops complete a drawdown that will end with the full withdrawal of combat forces at the end of 2014.
