Kabul suicide bomb kills 20 police cadets in second attack in a day

A suicide bomber has killed 20 recruits at the Kabul police academy, Afghan officials have said, in the second major attack in the capital in less than 24 hours.  The incident, which happened as cadets were returning to the academy after their two-day weekend, marks a serious breach of security at a top training institute for Afghan security forces.

“A suicide bomber on foot blew himself up near the academy,” said deputy interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish. “Heavy casualties are expected.” Officials told Associated Press that 20 recruits had died.  The academy in west Kabul is a premier training institution for police forces in Afghanistan, with between 2,000 and 3,000 cadets graduating every year. - Read More at the Guardian
