Kabul: At least 8 people were killed when a civilian minibus struck a remote-controlled bomb in the Afghan capital Kabul, police said.
“A remote-controlled mine struck a civilian minibus in Paghman district around 5:00 am today, killing eight people and injuring one,” Kabul police chief General Ayoub Salangi told AFP.
The man who set off the bomb had been arrested, General Salangi said, describing him as a member of the hardline Islamist Taliban waging an insurgency against the Afghan government.
All the dead were men, he said, apparently on their way to work in what is a usually peaceful area on the western outskirts of the city.
