KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan officials say at least 10 people have been killed in a bomb attack on a police bus that was carrying people to a police academy in eastern Afghanistan.
Nangarhar province government spokesman Ahmad Zia Abdulzai says the blast occurred Wednesday afternoon on a road running through Jalalabad, the major city in the east. He says it is not yet clear if a suicide bomber attacked the bus or if it hit a roadside bomb.
A doctor at the main hospital in the city says at least 10 people have been killed and 20 wounded. Dr. Saif Ul-Rahman says it is not known how many of the dead are police officers and how many are civilians.
