KABUL—A roadside bomb killed four people in a bus carrying Afghan government staff in Kabul on Thursday, a day after nine members of the security forces died when their helicopter was shot down, officials said.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the roadside blast though the government has blamed Taliban terrorists for recent attacks targeting government employees, civil society figures and journalists.
