Death toll in Kabul bombing jumps to 63: official

An explosives-packed ambulance blew up in a crowded area of Kabul today, killing at least 63 people and wounding 151 others, officials said, in one of the biggest blasts to rock the war-torn city in recent years.
"The latest toll has reached 63 dead and 151 wounded," Baryalai Hilali, the director of the government media centre, told reporters.
He warned the death toll might rise as some of the wounded brought to hospitals were in a "critical condition".
