At least 27 police cadets killed in twin suicide blasts near Kabul
The explosions hit three buses ferrying the graduates, who were returning from a ceremony in Wardak province.
More than 27 Afghan police cadets were killed and 40 others injured on Thursday when two suicide bombers attacked a police convoy in Kabul. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
The blasts hit three buses that were ferrying the graduates, who were on their way back from a ceremony in Wardak province on the western outskirts of Kabul to the capital city, reported BBC. "The initial information we have is that two suicide bombers were involved and there are many casualties," a police official told Reuters.
This is the third attack in the last two months. On June 21, 14 security guards of the Canadian embassy in Kabul, most from Nepal, were killed when Talibans attacked the minibus they were travelling in. Earlier in April, a similar attack at a security services facility in Kabul killed at least 64 people.
