An insurgent group that carried out a suicide attack that killed eight foreigners and their interpreter in Afghanistan on Tuesday said it was in response to the anti-Islam film that has angered the Muslim world.
Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, a group allied with the Taliban, said a 22-year-woman drove a car packed with 660 pounds (300 kg) of explosives into a van on a road leading to the Kabul International Airport.
Some of the dead were employees of DHL -- a German-based company providing parcel and international express mail services, a senior Afghan official said.
Ten others were wounded in the attack.
Video footage of the aftermath of the attack showed a charred vehicle smoldering on the road as military officials milled about.
The attack is another violent response to the online film, produced in the United States, that mocks Islam's holy prophet. Protests started last week, including an attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
The United States has made it clear that it did not sanction the low-budget, amateurish 14-minute movie trailer posted on YouTube and produced privately in the United States. The clip, which has been banned by YouTube in several countries, mocks the Prophet Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and killer.
