Suicide bomber kills six Afghan soldiers on Kabul bus


 A suicide bomber targeted a bus carrying Afghan army personnel, killing six soldiers and wounding 11 on Thursday on the outskirts of Kabul, the Defence Ministry said, ending a near two-week lull in attacks in the capital.

Five Afghan school children were also reported killed in a foreign forces air strike, officials said, but the international coalition said those killed were insurgents.

Thursday's bus attack follows a wave of bombings on guesthouses, government officials and vehicles of foreign aid workers in the heavily guarded capital last month.
