喀布尔警察车队遭致命自杀炸弹袭击

Taliban suicide car bombers struck a police convoy in the Afghan capital, Kabul, Thursday, with reports saying at least 30 security personnel were killed.

The convoy was transporting cadets and trainers when it came under attack. Afghan officials confirmed there were back-to-back blasts.

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Seddiqi said authorities were gathering details and promised to share them soon.

Eyewitnesses told VOA they saw police personnel evacuating dead and wounded.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing. In a statement sent to reporters, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-filed car into the convoy.

Mujahid added, a second bomber then struck police officers who had gathered around the site of the first blast. He claimed the attacks killed dozens of Afghan security personnel
