STORYLINE
A bomb ripped through a police bus in a crowded civilian area in Kabul on Sunday, killing more than 35 people and wounding over 35 others, officials said, in what appears to be the deadliest attack in the capital since the fall of the Taliban.
The police academy bus was carrying several police recruits when the bomb went off inside it, leaving several dead, said Zalmai Khan, the deputy police chief of Kabul province.
The thunderous explosion was heard throughout central Kabul at about 8:10 a.m. local time (0340 GMT).
Ali Shah Paktiawal, Kabul police director of criminal investigation, said more than 30 people were killed, including policemen and civilians.
"A bomb was placed in a bus by the terrorists and the al-Qaida members who are the enemies of peace in our country killed more than 30 policemen and wounded many other who have been taken to hospitals," Paktiawal said.
The explosion appears to have happened in the front of the bus, which was more badly damaged than the rest of vehicle.
Officials were trying to determine if it was a suicide attack or a bomb planted on the bus.
The attack appears to be the deadliest attack in Kabul since the fall of the Taliban.

The attack appears to be the deadliest attack in Kabul since the fall of the Taliban.
Police and other Afghan security officials are commonly targeted by insurgents because they are seen as tools of the US-backed government of President Hamid Karzai.
At least 307 Afghan security officials have been killed in violence so far this year, according to an Associated Press tally of figures from the United States, United Nations, NATO and Afghan authorities.

There was no sign of any explosion.
Earth-movers and cranes were brought to the site to help with the rescue efforts.

STORYLINE:
Three people were found dead amid the rubble of a hospital that collapsed during renovation in the Afghan capital and 20 others were injured, officials said on Tuesday.
A wing of the stripped-down structure of the Jamhuriat Hospital crumbled without warning on Monday afternoon, burying workers carrying out a Chinese-sponsored refit.
Three Chinese construction workers were among the injured.
By Tuesday morning, rescue teams using earth-movers and cranes had found the bodies of three people killed in the incident.
Abdullah Shirzoy, the Deputy Minister of Public Health, said a further 12 people were unaccounted for.
Other officials said among the 20 people injured, none of them were in a serious condition.
The three Chinese workers, who were slightly injured, were discharged from a hospital on Monday, according to health official Ahmad Shah Shokomand.
Two others were being treated at a field hospital operated by NATO's security force in the capital.
Danish and German troops and paramedics were also providing emergency treatment at the scene.
Officials said it was still unclear what caused the 40-metre (yard) long section of the four-story concrete building to cave in.
The incident was the second blow to China's involvement in Afghan reconstruction projects after the slaying of 11 Chinese road construction workers in northern Kunduz province on June 10.

STORYLINE
A wing of a four-storey hospital under construction in the Afghan capital collapsed Monday, injuring several people and prompting a frantic rescue operation for others trapped in the rubble.
Witnesses and police said a 40-metre (yard) section of the concrete structure, which had been stripped bare and enclosed with scaffolding crumpled without warning.
There was no sign of any explosion.
Police said it was unclear if anyone had died or how many were injured, but workers said several people were hurt.
One worker who was in a yard behind the hospital when it collapsed said he had seen six injured people taken away.
At the back of the building, rescuers who had crawled into the rubble were using their hands to try to free one man buried up to his waist and screaming in pain.
Earth-movers and cranes were brought to the scene to help with the rescue efforts.
The Jamhuriat Hospital, located in the middle of Kabul close to the Interior Ministry was being refurbished by a Chinese-Afghan construction consortium.
It was unclear if foreigners were among the victims.

STORYLINE:
Taliban militants stormed an Afghan ministry in Kabul on Thursday, and one of them blew himself up inside, killing five people and badly damaging the building, officials and witnesses said.
The assailants first opened fire on the police guards outside the Ministry of Information and Culture, before entering its cavernous hall where the explosion occurred, Amir Mohammad, a police guard who was wounded in the blast, told The Associated Press from his hospital bed in Kabul.
Five people were killed in the attack, according to a statement from President Hamid Karzai's office.
Another 21 were wounded in the explosion, said a spokesman for the Health Ministry, which supervises the hospitals where the injured were taken.
Kabul's Deputy Police Chief Ali Shah Ahmadzai had said earlier at the blast scene that three people had been killed and five people had been wounded.
The ministry is in the centre of the city, at a busy intersection lined with shops.
One of the side walls of the building collapsed, while glass littered the roads nearby and office equipment was scattered over the area.
The blue metal gates in the ministry entrance were twisted from flung open.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene said the hall inside the ministry, belonging to the press department, was destroyed.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack and gave a similar account of what happened.
A Taliban spokesman said three militants stormed the building by throwing hand grenades at the guards at the main gate.
He said a man named Naqibullah from the eastern Khost province carried out the suicide attack, and the other two men fled.
Ministry workers were helped out of the building by security personnel.
Ambulances carried the wounded to hospitals.
While insurgents regularly use suicide attacks against Afghan and foreign forces around the country, they have been rare in Kabul.

STORYLINE:
A powerful car bomb rocked a busy market area in the center of the Afghan capital Thursday, in the bloodiest attack here since the fall of the Taliban. A UN security official said 22 people were dead.
Emergency vehicles and armoured personnel carriers from the international peacekeeping force rushed to the scene in a crowded market area near the Ministry of Information.
Witnesses said a smaller explosion had drawn crowds to the area when the car bomb, reportedly placed inside a taxi, exploded in front of a building containing shops selling televisions and satellite dishes -- all forbidden during hardline Taliban rule. The second floor of the building housed a small hotel.
Police sealed off the area, but emergency vehicles could be seen rushing injured to hospitals. Some dazed victims were led away, their clothing ripped and covered in blood.
"This bomb was inside a taxi," said police spokesman Dul Aqa. "It was a very, very strong explosion. We can't say exactly who was behind it but we know the last bombs were al-Qaida and (former Prime Minister) Gulbuddin (Hekmatyar)."
Rebel Afghan warlord Hekmatyar this week call for a jihad, or holy war, this week to drive foreign troops, including international peacekeepers, from Afghanistan.
The blast occurred in one of the most congested areas of the city on a day when many residents do their shopping before Friday's Muslim prayer day.
34 people were taken to Jamhuriat Hospital, which lacked facilities to handle broken bones and other serious injuries. They were transferred to the Italian Emergency Hospital and the Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital, doctors said.

STORYLINE:
A powerful car bomb rocked a busy market area in the centre of the Afghan capital on Thursday, and a police spokesman said at least 30 people had been killed or wounded.
A UN security official said 22 people were dead.
Emergency vehicles and armored personnel carriers from the international peacekeeping force rushed to the scene in a crowded market area near the Ministry of Information.
Witnesses said a smaller explosion had drawn crowds to the area when the car bomb exploded in front of a building containing shops selling televisions and satellite dishes - all forbidden during hardline Taliban rule.

Hekmatyar, one of Afghanistan's rebel warlords, this week called for a jihad, or holy war, to drive US and foreign troops and peacekeepers from Afghanistan.
The blast occurred in one of the most congested areas of the city on a day when many residents do their shopping before Friday's Muslim prayer day.

Police sealed off the area, but emergency vehicles could be seen rushing injured to hospitals. Some dazed victims were led away, their clothing ripped and covered in blood.
Five or six vehicles were destroyed, windows shattered and doors of shops ripped off their hinges.
Several main roads in the city were blocked and additional police and soldiers, armed with rocket launchers and automatic weapons, took positions at strategic points in the capital.
The blast appeared to be the most serious in a string of bombings that have occurred in the Afghan capital since August 15, when a small blast shattered windows at the Ministry of Telecommunications.
Previous bombings had been small, causing few casualties and relatively little damage.

The blast appeared to be the most serious in a string of bombings that have occurred in the Afghan capital since August 15, when a small blast shattered windows at the Ministry of Telecommunications.
Previous bombings had been small, causing few casualties and relatively little damage.

STORYLINE:
A powerful car bomb rocked a busy market area in the center of the Afghan capital Thursday, in the bloodiest attack here since the fall of the Taliban. A UN security official said 22 people were dead.
Emergency vehicles and armored personnel carriers from the international peacekeeping force rushed to the scene in a crowded market area near the Ministry of Information.
Witnesses said a smaller explosion had drawn crowds to the area when the car bomb, reportedly placed inside a taxi, exploded in front of a building containing shops selling televisions and satellite dishes -- all forbidden during hardline Taliban rule. The second floor of the building housed a small hotel.
Police sealed off the area, but emergency vehicles could be seen rushing injured to hospitals. Some dazed victims were led away, their clothing ripped and covered in blood.
Five or six vehicles were destroyed, windows shattered and doors of shops ripped off their hinges.
"This bomb was inside a taxi," said police spokesman Dul Aqa. "It was a very, very strong explosion. We can't say exactly who was behind it but we know the last bombs were al-Qaida and (former Prime Minister) Gulbuddin (Hekmatyar)."
Rebel Afghan warlord Hekmatyar this week call for a jihad, or holy war, this week to drive foreign troops, including international peacekeepers, from Afghanistan.
The death toll in the latest was uncertain because Afghans often pick up the bodies of their relatives and bury them immediately without reporting the death.
The blast occurred in one of the most congested areas of the city on a day when many residents do their shopping before Friday's Muslim prayer day.
Thirty-four people were taken to Jamhuriat Hospital, which lacked facilities to handle broken bones and other serious injuries. They were transferred to the Italian Emergency Hospital and the Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital, doctors said.
At the Italian hospital, staff posted lists with the names of 42 wounded. Staff members said about 65 people had been taken to the hospital, but some of the most seriously wounded could not be identified.
Several main roads in the city were blocked and additional police and soldiers, armed with rocket launchers and automatic weapons, took positions at strategic points in the capital.

AFGHANISTAN: LIFE AND DEATH IN KABUL

Eng/Nat
The United Nations meets on Wednesday in a new attempt to bring peace to Afghanistan.
Delegates will consider an emergency plan to stop the fighting, which has been continuing for most of the past 15 years.
APTV has a special report on life - and death - in the Afghan capital Kabul:
Another victim of civil conflict in Afghanistan.
Thirteen year old Masood Rasool died in a government rocket attack on his neighborhood. He had been watering flowers in the garden when the missile struck.
Most of his family had moved to a safer part of the city a few months earlier. Masood and his father had stayed behind to protect their home.
SOUNDBITE:
"He killed by the government rocket. The government rocket shoot over the Television Mountain in my home and my boy work in the field of my garden and he killed. This is the third tragedy in my home. Last year my wife was killed by rocket and my daughter was killed by rocket. Two days ago my son Masood was killed by killed. This is the third tragedy to my home".
SUPER CAPTION: Grolam Rasool, Bereaved Father.
Moving through central Kabul, civilians must pass through a series of military checkpoints
The inhabitants are familiar with the sights and sounds of war.
SOUNDBITE:
"Every school in this city, many of the government buildings, many half-completed houses are all full of twenty, thirty, fifty, seventy families crowded in with broken windows that were blown apart by bombs in months gone by. Those people face freezing through the winter and we try and provide them with plastic sheeting and tarpaulins , if necessary tenting and blankets to try and keep them warm through the winter. But then as the fighting moves to another part they flee those schools and go into other schools again. "
SUPER CAPTION: Steve Masty, Country Director CARE International.
It is illegal to cut down trees in Kabul . However, with fuel prices soaring, many are left with little choice but to break the law.
Because of a blockade by anti-government forces, most Kabulis cannot afford the high prices asked for the meagre amounts of food which trickles into the city.
The very poor survive on a diet of flat bread and, if they're lucky, the occasional bowl of rice.
There has been an almost complete breakdown in the running of state services and institutions. In this asylum on the outskirts the blind and mentally ill go unattended.
But in the city hospitals doctors and nurses work around the clock to heal the hundreds of war wounded who fill the casualty wards.
SOUNDBITE:
"You see this child has a big problem in the head and he is very serious, he's very bad and the doctor he has a trauma - head trauma - and he says maybe in a couple of days time he is died."
SUPER CAPTION: Afghan Doctor, Jamhuriat Hospital.
Children in Kabul no longer attend school because of the war. After 16 years of continual hostilities, a whole generation has grown up knowing nothing but conflict.
For young Masood Rasool, the conflict is over. On a hillside outside Kabul he is buried by his grieving family. His grave is marked by a green flag, identifying it as the resting place of a shaid or victim of Islamic war.

Eng/Nat
Rival Afghan factions traded rocket and mortar fire in the capital of Kabul, on Sunday, ignoring a U-N plea for a one-week ceasefire.
At least six people were killed and 28 wounded.
Civilians face daily rocket attacks by Islamic groups fighting for control of the city and as winter approaches, hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing.
APTV visited Afghanistan recently and reports exclusively on one the world's most vicious civil wars.
Kabul lies in ruins.
Whole sections of this city have been destroyed and after two and a-half years of civil war, fighting between Islamic factions continues unabated.
Every day, tens, sometimes hundreds of rockets are fired indiscriminately into residential districts.
Government forces loyal to President Burhanuddin Rabbani control most of Kabul. They're defending it against Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and his allies who are responsible for most of the rockets fired at the city.
Attack follows counter attack as the two sides vie for strategic positions.
Government commanders have repulsed repeated opposition offensives, but their enemy remains determined.
Most of the causalities are civilians caught up in this conflict. Since the overthrow of the former Soviet-backed regime in 1992, more than twenty thousand people are estimated to have died.
Kabulis live in daily fear for their lives.
SOUNDBITE:
"Kabul is extremely dangerous at the moment because one never knows exactly when the rockets are coming or when. Over the last five months, the fronts have shifted back and forth and the fighting has shifted from one end of the city to the other. And on top of that there seems to be an opinion that the opposition are targeting their rockets at the most populous areas, trying to cause fear and disturbance amongst the locals."
SUPER CAPTION: Steve Masty, Country Director, CARE International.
At Jamhuriat Hospital in central Kabul there is a continuous stream of casualties, many of them children.
The government and opposition are using heavy weaponry and the wards are filled with people suffering from the most horrific wounds.
This little girl was injured by a rocket which landed in her garden. She was lucky to survive.
This year alone, some eight thousand people have been killed and a hundred thousand wounded in Kabul. The International Committee of the Red Cross says more people are dying here than in any other war zone.
Funeral processions are a daily sight on the streets of the capital.
SOUNDBITE:
"With the cold weather approaching, every morning more than a thousand people go down to the bus stations and truck stops in Kabul to head east to the warmer climate and lower altitude of Jalalabad. They go because their houses were rocketed. They go because their relatives have gotten sick and because there's no medicine available or they go because they've simply hit the end of their money. There's no more food left for them. They have to choose between fuel and food, and in despair and panic, they leave the city. And we suspect those numbers will increase."
SUPER CAPTION: Steve Masty, Country Director, CARE International.
During the Soviet occupation, in the 1980's, the population of Kabul stood at about two and a-half (m) million. Since the beginning of the civil war in 1992, that number has dwindled to three quarters of a (m) million and aid agencies predict that this winter a third of the population may flee.
With mass unemployment and the economy shattered, many have no choice but to leave their homes.
They arrive at the bus station with whatever few belongings they are able to carry.
SOUNDBITE:
SUPER CAPTION: Mohammed Anwar Kawka, Retired Engineer.

According to the Human Development Index, Afghanistan is the 15th least developed country in the world. The average life expectancy is estimated to be around 60 years for both sexes. The country has the ninth highest total fertility rate in the world, at 5.64 children born/woman (according to 2012 estimates). It has one of the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, estimated in 2010 at 460 deaths/100,000 live births, and the highest infant mortality rate in the world (deaths of babies under one year), estimated in 2012 to be 119.41 deaths/1,000 live births. Data from 2010 suggest that one in ten children die before they are five years old. The Ministry of Public Health plans to cut the infant mortality rate to 400 for every 100,000 live births before 2020. The country currently has more than 3,000 midwives, with an additional 300 to 400 being trained each year.
A number of hospitals and clinics have been built over the last decade, with the most advanced treatments being available in Kabul. The French Medical Institute for Children and Indira Gandhi Childrens Hospital in Kabul are the leading children's hospitals in the country. Some of the other main hospitals in Kabul include the 350-bed Jamhuriat Hospital and the Jinnah Hospital, which is still under construction. There are also a number of well-equipped military-controlled hospitals in different regions of the country.
It was reported in 2006 that nearly 60% of the population lives within a two-hour walk of the nearest health facility, up from 9% in 2002. The latest surveys show that 57% of Afghans say they have good or very good access to clinics or hospitals. The nation has one of the highest incidences of people with disabilities, with around a million people affected. About 80,000 people are missing limbs; most of these were injured by landmines. Non-governmental charities such as Save the Children and Mahboba's Promise assist orphans in association with governmental structures. Demographic and Health Surveys is working with the Indian Institute of Health Management Research and others to conduct a survey in Afghanistan focusing on maternal death, among other things.
