Two people were killed and 14 others were wounded in an explosion on a bus in the Afghan capital on January 6, police said. Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said the explosion occurred in the capital's Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood -- an enclave of Afghanistan’s predominantly Shi’ite Hazara ethnic group. "According to initial information, unfortunately, two civilians in the bus were killed and 14 others were injured," Zadran said in a statement. "The injured were rushed to hospitals and police are investigating the incident." The explosion is the latest to hit the area in recent months.
