Police and witnesses said two foreign soldiers and an Afghan driver were wounded when their car came under grenade attack in central Kabul.
"The two people in uniform in the car were Americans," Deputy Interior Minister Hilaluddin Hilal said, adding that a teenaged boy had already confessed to carrying out the attack "for the cause of Muslims in Palestine and Afghanistan".
An US spokeswoman at the headquarters of the US-led coalition at Bagram airbase said a statement would be released later "since details are still sketchy coming in".
