KABUL, Jan 31 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber targeted an Afghan army bus in the centre of Kabul on Thursday, witnesses said, but there was no immediate word on casualties.

The bus was burning in the street and ambulances were seen leaving the scene with sirens screaming. Taliban insurgents launched more than 140 suicide bomb attacks in Afghanistan last year. (Writing by Jon Hemming; Editing by david Fox)
