Kabul, June 30 (IBNS) : At least 40 personnel of Afghan police force were killed as a suicide bomber attacked a convoy outside the capital Kabul on Thursday, BBC reported.

Two bombs hit vehicles carrying cadets returning from a graduation ceremony on the city's western outskirts.

BBC quoted Haji Mohammad Musa Khan, Governor of Paghman district, as saying that many more had been injured.

The bombing was claimed by the Taliban and follows an attack on a bus just over a week ago that killed 14 security personnel, all Nepalese, working for the Canadian embassy.
