The Taliban said it carried out the attack in a statement emailed to media.The British victim has not been named but UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said he was a security contractor.
Mr Hammond said he "strongly condemned (the Taliban's) cowardly actions".A spokeswoman for the EU's police mission (Eupol), Sari Haukka-Konu, said one non-mission member who had been travelling in the Eupol vehicle had been killed.

The attack is the second major incident in Kabul within a week. A Taliban gun attack on a hotel in the city on Thursday killed 14 people, most of them foreigners.
