At least 33 people dead in Afghanistan suicide blast

At least 33 people have been killed in a suicide car bomb attack near a military base in Afghanistan's Khost province, where Afghan and foreign soldiers are stationed, authorities say. Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse, reporting from Kabul, said that the attack happened just before 7pm, when many people were breaking their Ramadan fast. "There were a lot of casualities," Glasse said. "Ambulances have been working to get people to hospital." All of the dead are believed to be Afghan. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Taliban has often targeted Afghan and foreign troops.   Al Jazeera
