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 on 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.
