KABUL (Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew himself up in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Monday, killing 10 people and wounding 20 after joining a queue to enter an office of the civil order police, a senior official said.

Kabul was hit last month by a series of suicide attacks as the Taliban have stepped up their campaign against the Western-backed government.
