Afghan suicide bombing kills new army recruits

At least 12 new army recruits were killed in a suicide bomb attack in the eastern city of Jalalabad. Another 38 people were wounded, most in critical condition. Initial reports indicated that an attacker on an explosives-laden motorcycle crashed into the bus. No group has yet claimed responsibility. Suicide attacks regularly occur in Jalalabad, as the region is home to a number of anti-government insurgent groups.
