More than 10 senior officials from the Ministry of Interior (MoI) have been investigated over Thursday attack that targeted a convoy of police recruits in Kabul.

Officials including Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Alemi, commander of Wardak recruitment and training center, Brigadier General Ragbar, commander of the training center, Gul Saeed, general manager at the center, Ahmaduddin Wahab, head of transportation at the center and General Zekria, operation commander at the training center were investigated over the incident, reports Tolo News.

The moves comes after suicide bombers on Thursday attacked a convoy of Afghan police recruits in Kabul, killing at least 30 recruits and wounding more than fifty.

The police convoy was on its way from Wardak province to Kabul when it was hit by two-pronged explosions.

The attack took place in the Qala-e-Haidar Khan area in Paghman district.
