KABUL - 2 November 2017: Death toll from a sticky bomb attack in Afghanistan Wednesday rose to 15 people while about 27 others were injured.

The attack took place when a bus caught fire after the bomb blew up a nearby fuel tanker, an official was quoted by ABC News as saying.

Earlier Wednesday, a suicide car bomb targeted a district police commander in the northern Balkh province, killing one person. Gen. Abdul Razaq Qaderi, deputy provincial police chief, says the target of the attack, Nabi Gechi, and nine other people were wounded.
