Two Taliban suicide bombers killed at least 27 police and wounded around 40 in an attack on Thursday on buses carrying recently graduated cadets on the western outskirts of Kabul.

A police official said that, according to preliminary information, three buses were attacked as they approached the Afghan capital from neighbouring Wardak province.

“Initial information we have is that two suicide bombers were involved and there are many casualties,” he said, declining to be identified by name.

An Interior Ministry official said at least 27 people were killed and 40 wounded.

The incident comes 10 days after an attack on a bus carrying Nepali security guards working for the Canadian embassy in Kabul that killed 14 people.

In April, at least 64 people were killed by a Taliban attack on a security services facility in Kabul in the deadliest bombing of its kind in Afghanistan since 2011.

  1. Be it Kabul or Istambul – those who attack and occupy sovereign countries are responsible. Now they pioneer the Anti-terrorism fight using government and people of the victim nations. Has the conscience of the world dead ?

  2. as usual idiot neutral will blame outsiders for the horrible carnage created by local radical Islamic militant jihadis?…it is fools like him who support the Taliban and perpetuate the lie that the west is responsible for what fanatic Muslims are doing to other Muslims in Muslim countries…the world knows the truth that radical Islamists are responsible for this…neutral lives in denial always trying to twist the truth into blaming others for what radical Islamist are doing to the Muslim world…

    • Another of a Idiot like Eddied born. This stupid should understand that once a Genie is created and out of the bottle, all that happening can be expected. And there is always a reason behind agitations. The life as a whole, of the local people of Afghanistan has been destroyed by those who attacked without any valid reason and are occupying it as yet. Taliban want ALL foreign forces to leave their country and why they are there in the first place.
