A suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus carrying more than 50 people in [[Kabul, Afghanistan|Kabul]], [[Afghanistan]] killing at least 31 and critically injuring 17 of the people on board. 28 were Afghan soldiers, and so far at least two civilians have been killed.

"At this time I can tell you that 31, almost all of them military personnel, have been martyred," said Afghanistan's Public Health Minister, Sayed Mohammad Amin Fatemi.
