PM Modi condemns attack in Kabul as 'mindless violence'

"Anguished by the attack near Kabul. I condemn this mindless violence. My thoughts and prayers with the bereaved families and the injured," he tweeted.

At least 27 policemen were killed and 40 wounded after a bomb attack claimed by the Taliban struck a convoy of buses transporting police cadets in Kabul.

The attack comes little over a week after 14 Nepali security guards who were heading to work at the Canadian embassy were killed in a massive blast that left their yellow minibus spattered with blood.
