Dozens Killed As Bus Hits Roadside Bomb In Western Afghanistan

KABUL -- A roadside bomb explosion has hit a passenger bus in the western Afghan province of Farah, killing at least 35 civilians and wounding 27 others, officials say.

Mohibullah Mohib, a spokesman for the provincial police chief, told RFE/RL that the incident occurred while the bus was travelling on the Kandahar-Herat highway in the Ab Khorma area on the morning of July 31.

No militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast, but Mohib accused the Taliban of planting the bomb to target Afghan and foreign security forces.
