                     Suicide Bomber Kills 6 Afghan Soldiers

   by VOA News

   A suicide bomber has attacked a bus carrying Afghan troops in Kabul,
   killing six soldiers.

   Officials said the bomber was on foot as he carried out the attack
   Thursday morning.

   The blast wounded 10 other people, including some civilians.

   The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

   Militants have been stepping up attacks, particularly in Kabul, hitting
   both Afghan security forces and foreign troops as well as diplomatic
   targets.

   NATO forces are ending their combat mission in Afghanistan after 13
   years and transitioning to a new mission in January focusing on
   training and advising Afghan troops.
