Suicide bomber targets police bus in Kabul
TEHRAN (FNA)- A suicide bomber riding a bicycle targeted a police bus in Kabul on Sunday causing several injuries, officials said, as early details of the attack were confirmed.


The attacker detonated his explosives on the Jalalabad road, a main route out of the Afghan capital and a regular scene of Taliban militant attacks in recent years.

Afghan Interior Ministry Spokesman Sediq Sediqqi told AFP that six people were injured.

"A suicide bomber riding a bicycle targeted a police bus," he said. "According to our reports, six people were wounded in the attack."

Kabul Police Spokesman Hashmat Stanakzai confirmed details of the attack.

Eye Witness Abdul Majeed, a stallkeeper at the scene, told AFP, "I saw a bicycle rider hit the bus and then heard an explosion".

The bus was left with broken windows but was not completely destroyed by the blast.
