At least two people, including one child, were killed and more than a dozen were injured in the Taliban's New Year attack on a French restaurant in the Afghanistan capital of Kabul Friday evening.

The suicide attack took place at 5 p.m. at the Le Jardin restaurant, which is popular among foreigners, in Kabul's Tajmani area, according to Pajhwok Afghan News. The restaurant caught fire after the suicide blast.

"We can confirm a suicide car bomb attack on Le Jardin. We are busy extinguishing the fire at the scene... two Afghans have been killed and 15 others wounded," a senior Kabul police officer Fraidoon Obaidi told AFP.

"It is civilian restaurant and not a foreigner restaurant, it was a car bomb," Kabul police chief Rahman Rahimi said, according to Tolo News. He further said that the car bombing was carried out by a suicide bomber.

Sediq Sediqi, spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior, informed that one suspect was arrested in connection with the suicide bombing, Khaama Press reported. The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the deadly bomb blast on its social media accounts.

The attack comes a day after the Pakistani government announced the date for first round of talks between four nations on the Afghan peace process. The quadrilateral talks, which will involve the U.S. China, Pakistan and Afghanistan, will take place on Jan.16, according to Business Recorder.
