KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber on foot killed a security guard and wounded four civilians outside a hospital in northern Kabul on Thursday, officials said, while roadside bombs killed five Afghan soldiers elsewhere in the country.

The attacker struck a compound belonging to the minority Ismaili community, who make up a branch of Shiite Islam. The compound houses a cultural center, library and a hospital.
