KABUL: At least 20 people have been killed and several other injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) building in Kabul on Monday.
Kabul police spokesman Mohammad Ismail Kawusi confirmed the suicide attack. All the injured and bodies were shifted to the hospital.
The city was hit by a series of suicide attacks last month, including one that killed seven journalists from a private television station as the Taliban stepped up their campaign against the Western-backed government.
The Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) was set up as a gendarmerie-style unit to control riots and urban disorder but have also been used in counterinsurgency roles against the Taliban.
