Six people were killed and 16 injured when an explosion hit an International Security Assistance Force troops' bus in the Afghan capital, AFP reported. The blast, which happened on the main route to the eastern city of Jalalabad, left several dead bodies lying by the side of the road. The bus itself was thrown off the road by the force of the blast. Associated Press cited U.S. officials as saying that this is the deadliest attack on the international force in Afghanistan. The 4,600-strong ISAF peacekeeping force is responsible for security in the Afghan capital and is currently under joint German-Dutch command.
