The Taliban is claiming responsibility for a police bus bomb attack in the Afghan capital Kabul that left 35 people dead and 52 wounded.
Most of those killed in the suicide blast were instructors going to work at the city's police academy.
The death toll of 35 dead makes it Kabul's deadliest suicide attack ever since the fall of the Taliban six years ago.
The bus and several other vehicles were destroyed by the bomb, which exploded during peak rush-hour traffic.
This was the fifth suicide attack in Afghanistan in three days and follows a suicide attack on Friday, which was aimed at foreign forces in the west of the city.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for all the latest series of suicide bombs, a tactic designed to dispel the notion foreign and Afghan forces are in control of the country.
