Kabul, Safar 21, 1436, Dec 13, 2014, SPA -- A Taliban suicide bomber blew himself near an army bus in Kabul on Saturday, killing six soldiers, a police spokesman said, as the insurgents step up violence two weeks before the NATO-led military alliance ends its combat mission, dpa reported. Fourteen people were injured in the blast near Kabul zoo and an amusement park. Taliban gunmen also shot dead Supreme Court official Atiqullah Raoufi as he was on his way to work in the capital, police said. Hours earlier, Taliban gunmen shot dead 12 people working for a de-mining project in the southern province of Helmand, a local official said. The gunmen were killed by police. -- SPA 19:40 LOCAL TIME 16:40 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1305464
