Kabul: At least three people were killed when a suicide bomber targeted a bus carrying Afghan government employees. This was the second such attack in just a week striking the same area of the capital. The bus was carrying employees of the attorney general home after work.
Taliban insurgents quickly claimed responsibility for the attack near the Afghan attorney general’s office in Kabul.
Some witnesses ran for their lives.
“I was passing by the area when an explosion happened, I saw many people wounded and then I escaped from the area.”, one witness said.
Violence has continued in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of most foreign forces last year — with civilians frequently the victims.
