KABUL, July 22 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber attacked an Afghan army vehicle in the capital, Kabul, on Tuesday, but it was not clear how many casualties there were, a police official said.

The bomber struck early in the morning in the Gozargah area of the capital, near to the historic tomb of Babur, the 16th century founder of India's Mughal dynasty. (Reporting by Hamid Shalizi; Writing by Jon Hemming; Editing by David Fox)
