A suicide car bomber has rammed a coach carrying employees of Afghanistan's top court in Kabul, killing at the least 17 people and wounding 40 others, officials say. Women and children were among the victims in Tuesday's blast, the inner ministry said. General Mohammad Zahir, head of criminal investigations at the ministry, said the bomber detonated his vehicle after ramming the bus carrying Supreme Court staff close to the US embassy. The blast happened on the main road to the international airport, a few hundred metres from the US embassy gates. The gates can be a distance from the specific embassy building and also from nearby NATO headquarters.
